Carson Mayor and WRD Director Albert Robles.
Daughter of the Hon. Mervyn M. Dymally tells HMG-CN that Robles “is a detriment to the public’s best interest, a menace to society, and a disgrace to his family, friends, supporters, colleagues, constituents, WRD, and the city of Carson.”
By Brian Hews
Hews Media Group-Community News has exclusively learned and obtained a complaint filed by former Water Replenishment District Director Lynn Dymally against current Carson Mayor and WRD Director Albert Robles for sexual harassment and other violations.
The 11 page complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Dymally’s attorney Jason Buccat based out of Culver City, slams Robles with Sexual Battery (Civil Code 1708.5), Harassment (Civil Code 51.9), Gender Violence (Civil Code 52.4), and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
A person commits Sexual Battery when, “he/she acts with the intent to cause a harmful or offensive contact
with an intimate part of another, and a sexually offensive contact with that person directly or indirectly results.”
A person is liable for Sexual Harassment when there is a business, service, or professional relationship between the plaintiff and defendant.
Finally, Gender Violence is described in the Code as a physical intrusion or physical invasion of a sexual nature under coercive conditions.
The complaint also named 10 “Does” and stated, “plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that each of these fictitiously named defendants is responsible in some manner for the occurrences here in alleged, and that Plaintiffs damages as herein alleged were proximately caused by their conduct.”
The incident occurred at the American Leaders Water Conference in Washington D.C. that took place in November 2013.
According to the complaint, Dymally began feeling very uncomfortable when they checked into the hotel and Robles had ordered adjoining rooms with a common door.
The complaint goes on to state, “early morning on Nov. 3, 2013 Dymally was returning to her room after dinner with Robles and others when Robles forced himself on to Dymally so hard that it pushed her back into her room and onto the bed. Robles began to grope Dymally and proceeded to rip her clothes off. Dymally attempted to stop him however Robles was too strong and proceeded to get on top of her and tried to have intercourse with her.”
Dymally claimed that after he tried to force himself onto her, Robles passed out.
Dymally was able to escape the situation showered and went to attend the conference that morning.
The night of Nov. 3 Robles once again “attempted to touch Dymally in a sexual manner, but this time she was able to thwart his advances.”
The complaint alleges that once they returned from the conference, Robles continued to harass Dymally while at WRD meetings.
HMG-CN contacted Dymally who said, “as a life-long community leader and role model, I would be remiss if I do not stand up against the injustice of sexual assault and harassment women encounter in the workplace. It saddens me even more that a man who once worked for and with me and had the privilege of being mentored by my father, the Hon. Mervyn M. Dymally, a great defender of women’s rights, would have such a lack of respect for women. My dad would be heart broken by Albert’s transgressions and encourage me to stand-up for women and myself.”
She went on to say, “Albert Robles has become a despicable person and public servant who lacks the basic principles of integrity and respect for others. Mayor Robles must be held accountable for his egregious behavior against me and any other woman he has violated. He owes, not only me, but also, his mother, sister, wife, and daughter a public apology along with sincere atonement. Albert Robles is a detriment to the public’s best interest, a menace to society, and a disgrace to his family, friends, supporters, colleagues, constituents, WRD, and the city of Carson.”
The complaint asks for a jury trial and for compensatory as well as punitive damages.
Texts into Mayor Robles were not returned at time of publication.
I don’t believe a word that she is saying. She is a very hateful and vindictive person. Why wait until two years later to bring this up. Just because he has become mayor of Carson. I have known her too long to believe a single word our of her mouth.
Of course you don’t believe, John Doe, you are apart of the problem. She didn’t need to wait to expose Albert, he was already being exposed for the jerk he is. Lynn Dymally has no interest in being mayor or holding any other position politically, Only idiot jerks like you, who use her fathers good name for their own agenda.
Lynn Dymally is one of the most compassionate TRUTHFUL people I KNOW.
How dare you take this serious issue and down play it to a political office.
UNLIKE YOU I can use my name COWARD!
As someone who has known Lit’ Al for years and who also isn’t a fan of Lynn either (she’s friends with that Central Basin scumbag Leticia Vasquez), I have no doubt that what Lynn is describing is true (although Robles definitely needs to have his eyes checked). Robles is the ultimate narcissist and is intent on inflicting his obnoxious self on every person he comes in contact with. His actual intent is to force everyone to have an opinion of him, good or bad, he frankly doesn’t care either way. That greasy midget needs to be noticed. I know for… Read more »
“Albert needs to check his eyes” – really! Lynn is the most drop dead gorgeous 56 yr old woman there is. You couldn’t come up with anything better than that to day.at about Lynn. You just proved your shady boots. Hater
Hahaha, come on Lynn even you can’t believe that BS. Gorgeous? Drop dead? But it at least shows how stuck you are in the twilight zone. There are millions in front of you in that long line.
Are you people that naive? One only has to look at Lynn Dymally’s verifiable legacy to know the kind of person she is. Her own father kept her at arms length at the end and she even went against his wishes when he was put to rest. Nome of you noticed the duel funerals? The one that LYNN HAD TO DO and the one her Father’s wife did as he had wished. First everyone talked trash that Robles was behind her appointment to WRD. Then no says a peep when the truth comes out and he never casts a single… Read more »
Your comments are laughable! Anyone one who really knows Lynn or Mervyn and their father daughter relationship knows that she was the love of his life and apple of his eye. Your statement is ridiculous! If anything, people were jealous of how close Lynn and Merv were including you! Furthermore, she was not removed from the Compton School Board by the Board because the board had no voting power at that time. LA County Counsel determined that the board had no voting rights and she did not abandon her office. Just ask Judge Kelvin Filer or John Steward. Obviously, you… Read more »
Applause..WOW! It’s obvious we have been fortunate to get Lynn Dymally herself to comment. I guess I read the article below wrong perhaps you may want to redirect that anger at the LA Times. Better yet, they have even deeper pockets then WRD maybe you should manufacture another one of your bogus lawsuits against them. There are more stories if we you want just ask and I will post them for you too! COMPTON : School Board Ousts Non-Attending Member September 15, 1994|JOHN D. WAGNER The school board has ousted board member Lynn Dymally, who has not attended a board… Read more »
My sources are telling me that 3h Dragon is Micah Ali, Compton School Board Member
Oh 3HDragon,
They say birds of a feather flock together!
Perhaps you have a criminal record for Pedophilia (sex offender)?
What, you didn’t think we know! Well, we do and always have!
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
And, on the Compton School Board!!!!!!
Karma is a bitch and turn about is fair play!
Maybe the media should do an investigation on you too?
You can dish it out, but, can you take it?
Do you actually expect people to believe Merv would disown his daughter? Merv had a reputation for helping everyone including the man on and in the streets. You have the audacity to accuse Merv of being dead beat dad who would put distance between himself and his child? Then you didn’t know Merv at all. Or perhaps you are pathetic liar. Shame on you to speak ill of a dead man! Don’t nobody believe you. You gonna answer to God for that.
Wow! Such hateful and vile stances. How does one tell sore a loser to stop slandering the good name of one who they have felt over-time as their obstacle/opponent and competitor. For far too many years you cast aspersions and slander on the integrity and credibility of your mentor”s daughter. You should be ashamed. You have constantly acted with the disrespected and disregard as a jealous rejected suitor. Lynn is Mervyn’s daughter and Mark is his son. It’s unfortunate that you, 3HDragon, did not become heir apparent to Merv’s legacy. Why are you in competition with Lynn is beyond my… Read more »
Albert Robles is a bitter, mean-spirited, little man. Anyone who truly knows him knows how vengeful he is. He has no true friends, just dubious vendors who ply him with his endless kickbacks. John Harris, Rick Taylor just to name but two. No one as despicable as Robles can survive in politics much longer. The FBI is already all over this Napoleon wannabe. Carson’s football deal will collapse when all Little Al’s kickbacks are discovered. It’s just a matter of time. The District Attorney needs to look at how Robles pays for his daughter’s exclusive private school education considering how… Read more »
Curious, got any documented proof? or is this all based on your opinion. Sounds like a lot of smoke to me.
What else is to be expected from the likes of Rick Mayer, Merv Dymally’s partner from Golden State Consulting, of Santa Fe Springs. Mayer was upset when he lost his contract with WRD after Dymally’s death. Mayer could not stand on his own 2 feet and deliverafter losing his partner. His plan to get Lynn Dyamlly appointed worked. His push to get her elected left him flat on his face and broke. Now the lawsuit!
Rick Mayer had nothing to do with Lynn’s appointment. John Harris pushed for Lynn to be appointed to the board. More than that, Albert Robles changed his vote at the end to make the vote unamious in support of Lynn and then Robles swore Lynn into office. There is a record of the vote and video of him swearing her in on FB. GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT HATERS!
Trying to paint Lit’ Al as somekind of moral ethical Saint? Give me a break. The man is pure evil…Satan himself! How about interviewing his long absued wife? They don’t even live together. That poor lady is a doormat to that man. What people have to know is that the FBI is interviewing everyone involved with the Carson football stadium deal gathering evidence on Robles’ shakedown tactics. Once the feds start looking into Robles finances this guy will be locked up for good. Glad he got his last WRD-ratepayer funded trip to GREECE for yet another BS water conference out… Read more »
Maybe you can get the cell next to him.
Look who’s calling the kettle black! Ohh but perhaps you are up to your old CI tactics. There was a reason you weren’t called as a witness in the other West Basin case in OC. Thought we didn’t know? The FBI out won’t work for you this time. If lucky just the wife.

Excuse me your arm seems a bit twisted..
My sources are telling me that 3h Dragon is Micah Ali, Compton School Board Member
It is really hard to believe that some ppl, would spend so much negative energy on hating Lynn Dymally and try to assassinate her character by disgracing her father. Merv Dymally made sure he supported his son and educated his daughter. He deeply loved his son and adored his ONLY daughter, inspite of what ignorant ppl think or lies they tell. If her dad were alive today he would be proud of all of her accomplishments. She has stood strong against all odds. Do you really think Lynn cares what ignorant ppl think or say? News flash, she doesn’t ..Lynn… Read more »
First I can carless about this Albert character or whether or not he is a pervert, but everyone in Compton knows Dymally and her family are bunch of liars. 1. These type of allegations should have the Mayor in jail. This is sounds like rape. Why weren’t the cops called if this really happened? 2. It’s a civil case for monetary damages. 3. She just ran for office and Lost. Why weren’t these allegations brought up as her political platform? 4. Go look at the WRD youtube channel there are several videos of her aroound Robles and she probably had… Read more »
Okay Mr. Johnny CPT, I normally don’t engage in such idle chatter and banter, however, to state “Compton knows Dymally and her family are bunch of liars” is mean, hurtful and distasteful. Should everyone be under attack? There is more to the Dymally clan than what you see in the media. Our family consists of hard-working men and women who make their contributions to society every day, who are kind, compassionate, maintain integrity, are wonderful friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles etc. It is unfortunate that what you’ve expressed may be your experience and you’ve never had the opportunity… Read more »
First let me say sorry for my vague comment towards the Dymally family. It was only meant for Lynn DYmally and her deceased father Merv Dymally. I don’t like to disrespect the dead, but in the 80’s they both did some foul things in Compton. Once again, i can tell by the way your writing you know how outrageous your kin (Lynn) is. Her story doesn’t add up and its all about money. If it was about a man trying to rape her then she would have filed criminal charges two years ago. But, instead she continued to collect her… Read more »
Wow. Al Robles is one of the criminals who was pandering for illegal “laws” that harassed the families that are listed on the magic Sex Offender Registries. Such a shame that he’s now worried that consequences for his actions will “reach far beyond me and deeply wound innocent people, such as my wife, children and parents”. He supports harassing families so I would say that it is great that karma is working. Other people need to step forward and sue him as well. Here is an earlier comment about Robles’ being a harassing terrorist: The City of Carson is being… Read more »
“He is fortunate I did not beat the hell out of him at the time of the sexual assault and following incidents of harassment. I restrained myself in the interest of the great Dymally legacy.” Lynn Dymally This is a very interesting statement. Dymally has the reputation of being agressive and taking no crap, especially from a man. Watch her video on youtube, Dymally is way bigger than Robles. She can probably kick his butt! LOL. So, since she is claiming to be a role model, then she’s telling all women to not protect themselves from an alledged sexual assault?… Read more »
Regardless of the accusations, his comments concerning the situation are very interesting. Any other citizen would have been arrested and charged with attempted rape. Anyone who has knowledge of the sex offender registry would know that these charges would be considered a 290 offense. He is so sanctimonious when it comes to “protecting the public” from sex offenders that he has declared war on them. I find it ludicrous that he is now concerned with the other victims (wife, children, parents, etc.) Two months ago he couldn’t have cared less about offenders’ families and the injustices they have to deal… Read more »
Why is it that this is the only news rag that has so many pro Dymally supporters? I know because most of the the pro Lynn comments are from Lynn and her close friends and a couple of I hate Robles groupies who could never make a clear unbiased decision. As expected others are starting to surface. But wait hey are pro Robles. What do they have to say? Prominent Carson citizens were around Robles election night 2014 as he was being harassed by many text messages from Lynn Dymally saying she was going to destroy him and blaming him… Read more »
Mr. 3H Dragon:
Why don’t you tell everyone who you are?

Well said Hannah. Guess who has to initiate the charges?? Lynn Dymally. She waited 2 years to file a civil “money” lawsuit against him and the mutli-million dollar agency she was elected to. In civil cases you need to provide clear and convincing evidence and there is nothing clear convincing about her claims. 1. Mayor Robles was drinking any time between 8am to 5pm, so much that he was drunk to committ an offense of attempted rape on long time friend/acquaintance. 2. After the alleged assault he passed out on top of her. 3. Lynn Dymally gets up and takes… Read more »

Mr. Johnny CPT Thank you apologizing for the vague comment towards the Dymally family. However, I must clarify your statement “Once again, i can tell by the way you’re writing you know how outrageous your kin (Lynn) is”; As I said to Mr. 3H Dragon, it doesn’t mean Lynn is lying because you don’t like her. If a woman waits 2 months, 2 years or 20 years doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Whatever her motivation, again, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I’m unsure if you’re friends with Albert, but if you are, ask him what happened. I’m somewhat vague… Read more »
Notice after I called 3H Dragon out as Micah Ali, the person has not posted…
Agree to disagree. Like you said in time we will see. God Bless you.
I wouldn’t be sure that truth will prevail. It very often does not. Especially when it comes to sexual accusations. Friends of the criminal Robles should also ask him about his “sex offender” witch hunt. They should ask him if he thinks it is appropriate to harass people listed on his magic Sex Offender Registry, why he does not simply include other people who are clearly very dangerous. Until Robles and his co-criminals do that, we will all know that they are nothing bunch a bunch of immoral, un-American, harassing liars and their witch hunt has nothing to do with… Read more »
Amazing! Its truly amazing post, I have got much clear idea concerning from
this article.
I thought celebrities had more drama than politicians. I was corrected, quickly! I happened to stumble across this article and continued to read the blog to understand all the arguments about these lobbyist. I found half of the comments to be empty and the others to be civic truths separate from the allegations about Mr. Robles. The truth of the matter is… Mark was the water legislature for MMW. He wrote bill’s in the 90’s that supported water laws and policies for Ca. Mark was the water politician that his father supported. Not Lynn…she made that move to be relevant… Read more »
Correction MWD not MMD. Water board abbreviations…too many for my language.
