Village justice says Hempstead mayor harrassed her

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

This tale of alleged misconduct and revenge is unfolding in the /*Village of Hempstead*/.

Mayor /*Wayne Hall*/ and village Justice /*Tonya Hobson-Williams*/ were running mates on the Democratic ticket in 2009.

Now she says the mayor has been sexually harassing her and she plans to sue the village for $5-million.

Mayor Hall denies the allegations.

The mayor says he asked that Hobson-Williams be removed from the bench last year for erratic behavior.

He believes the lawsuit is her retaliation for that.
