PRESS RELEASE
Former Detroit City Councilmember George Cushingberry Jr. Acquitted of all STATE and FEDERAL sexual harassment and discrimination charges:
On April 16th, 2021 a sad chapter for the City of Detroit came
to a quiet end when Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed
all charges of sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley
against George Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision of US
District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley had no
grounds and lacked credibility.
On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge
Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against Detroit City Council Members
and, former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a stinging 23-page
ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of
sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court
proceedings clearly showed that all Individuals named in her lawsuit did not
support ANY of her claims of harassment and, Wiley’s status as an at-will
employee was understood by both parties. The filing of the case by attorney
Robin Beth Wagner on 3/13/2020 was a feeble, last-ditch and, cowardly act to
hijack the taxpayers of Detroit under the guise of the #metoo movement.

After further review of the #metoo movement, it seems that
the only two people who are incarcerated for sexual harassment is a White Jew
(Harvey Weinstein) and an African American (Dr. Bill Cosby). While these men rot in prison, 74 million Americans
voted for a President (Donald Trump) that harassed women, paid them off to be
quiet and, incited a riot that cost people their lives.
This #metoo movement has been hijacked by women who are looking
for revenge against a man running for office that is perceived to have too much
power or make too much money. This practice of penis politics does nothing but
take the profession of prostitution to a new level. Mentally disturbed women with
a grudge use the #metoo movement at the behest of people running for elected
office or someone looking for a promotion within an organization.
The policy of penis politics has a detrimental effect on any
organization. From President Joe Biden, Dr. Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Former Senator Al Franken, Gov
Mario Cuomo and others, these charges only benefit the accusers for financial
gain. The accused victims that have given
back to their communities get replaced by do nothing incompetent people that
talk the talk, instead of walking the walk. At the same time, 86-year-old Carolyn
Bryant Norman, the woman who lied on Emmitt Till in 1955 is alive and well in
Mississippi not facing any prosecution at all. She is being hidden in plain
sight by family members who have not been investigated by US Marshals for hiding
a criminal.

Team Cushingberry sincerely thanks all supporters who believed in George Cushingberry’s innocence and, sends his most sincere apologies to the women who were used against their will by plaintiff Attorney Wagner to sustain a lie for a political gain that: gained nothing but attention for rogue news organizations promulgating fake news for profit and, political operatives with ulterior motives to the detriment of the majority of black citizens
After 5 years of lies and innuendo, George Cushingberry can peacefully
carry on with the rest of his life, free from harassment from grifters and,
gold-diggers who are looking to get something for nothing with nothing to show
for it. Under the leadership of former President Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry,
the taxpayers of Detroit have been protected again from enemies of the people
practicing penis politics for profit.
