Mayoral candidate denies harassment, assault allegations
The article reads in part:
"A mayoral candidate who has been accused of sexual harassment and assault in online posts made by a former employee not only denied the claims, but also threatened legal action Tuesday.
Mike Vogiatzakis, general manager and funeral director at Voyage Funeral Homes and Crematorium, was accused of sexual harassment and assault in several social media posts, beginning Sunday.
In the first post, the ex-employee claimed Vogiatzakis made sexual comments, slapped her and put his hands around her neck while she was employed at the Hespeler Avenue funeral home in 2024.
Vogiatzakis said the claims were false and described the woman as a “disgruntled employee,” who first made the accusations after she was fired because she was “unable to do the work (they) required her to do.”
