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.

  • I Know Lit' Al says:

    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 a fact that other victims will surface (one former consultant in particular comes to mind immediately). Robles will get what he deserves this time hopefully.

    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 vote for her during the regular appointment process. Why? Because Robles knew her past well and felt it was irresponsible to appoint her. Has everyone forgot the embarrassment and lies cast by Lynn when she was an appointed Compton school board member. Have you lost your memories of how she was unanimously kicked off the school board by her fellow board after never attending a meeting for almost a year and she has never offered an excuse for the absences to this day. Why because the excuse will not be accepted by anyone with a ethical and moral compass. Have you all forgot she was up to no good! She has been appointed to public positions three times but has never won the support of the public vote. Moreover the final nail is Robles being consistent did not support her election in November 2014. How does Robles’ actions support her allegations. It’s obvious he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TROUBLE MAKER. We should all stand up and applaud Robles for being a true shepherd of the agencies he represents us on. Because he his relation with her father was not alone a reason to support her unqualified ambition. Many, you know who you are, were saying during the appointment and election because she is Merv Dymally’s daughter so she should get a free pass. That’s Nonsense! It obvious her own father did not support her like that at the end. It doesn’t work that way in my book either. Thank you Albert Robles for being a real public servant with backbone and integrity.. you are a rare breed! The truth will come out and make sure you make her pay every penny back to the public for her abuse once again of the public’s money! The public vote once again proved they are smarter than what she give us credit for.

  • Robles' Day is Coming says:

    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 pitiful his so-called law practice is. What a sham. West Basin’s Ron Smith was a rank amateur compared to this clown. Keep diggin’ LCCN!

  • Chacon to the Bone says:

    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!

  • Merv Knows Best says:

    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 of the way before they throw away the key!

  • Jeanette A Ross says:

    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 has exposed the truth about a real offense. A serious matter that should not be taken lightly.

    Many women suffer mentally, physically and emotionally, because of SEXUAL HARRASSMENT in the workplace. I am sure she is not the only victim. I am
    glad she spoke out, hopefully it will free others who have been intimidated
    by Albert and perverts like him. He is a married city official for God sake.

    Thank You Lynn Dymally for being the Best! No matter how they try to slander and hate on you . You shine like a diamond. To all your haters, Stay jealous, you could never walk in her stilettos.
    Lynn Dymally is a remarkable human being, with a heart of gold. Much respect and Support!

  • JohnnyCPT says:

    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 several meetings with him afterwards. If someone tried to rape me, I wouldn’t want to be around them.
    5. Anybody can make these claims.But it’s obvious she is bitter and wants MONEY

    Dymally is a money grubber!

  • Will Allen says:

    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 run by a criminal regime. “Residency Restrictions” and “Presence Restrictions” are nothing but pure theft and harassment and there is not one single American who supports it. What we have with it is a group of harassing, un-American terrorists who are stealing from and harassing a group of U.S. citizens, their spouses, and their children. People who support this kind of nonsense are paying dearly for it and will continue to do so. They should be individually identified and attacked and harmed by any means that is legal.

    And we all have to note that Al Robles and his co-criminals apparently think it is fine that people who have shot children in schools live right next door to schools. If Robles and the criminal regime were not okay with that, they VERY, VERY EASILY could have just made their useless “law” apply to “gun offenders” as well. But of course they didn’t.

    The criminal regime is also apparently fine with people who run meth houses living next door to schools. Or people who drive drunk (who, BTW, are thousands of times more dangerous than 99.9% of the people who are listed on the S*x Offender Registries).

    So what we see yet again is, just like the S*x Offender Registries themselves, none of this is REALLY about “public safety”, “protecting children”, or any of those other lies that the terrorists tell. No American supports the S*x Offender Registry harassment.

  • JohnnyCPT says:

    “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? To protect their legacy and just get assaulted? She makes no sense.

    Once again, Dymally is a compulsive-vindictive liar! All for money!

  • Hannah Grace says:

    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 with on a daily basis. All I can say is, he is very fortunate that 290 charges were not brought against him.

  • Mr. JohnnyCPT says:

    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 because it is not my personality to argue or debate, be mean or malicious and I believe the truth will prevail. Many of the comments I’ve read are horrible and there should be better ways to express our opinions without attacking one another.

    Wishing you peace in your heart and blessings in your life.

  • Amazing! Its truly amazing post, I have got much clear idea concerning from
    this article.

  • The Insider Scope says:

    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 after her father died.
    @3HDragon…you go hard at Lynn. Lol…Why you treat her so bad? I get it. Clowin’… You have no mercy on her and called her out, which most people would have not!
    It’s evident that these are Lynn’s family members and Merv’s former staff coming to her rescue. Some of these individuals do not make logical sense and have totally crowned Ms.Dymally as the more achieved and valid politician. But hey, “the beat goes on” as the songs tells. Would you want to be put in Lynn Dymally’s dog house…for simply not agreeing with her? Uhmmm…
    Well folks, we will just have to wait and see if she can reinvent herself in this new political circle. Because “the best revenge in life is succeeding”.~ Lynn Dymally
