Harris drew considerable criticism in 2013 for allowing [[San Diego]] mayor and former Democrat congressman [[Bob Filner]] to plead guilty to charges of false imprisonment and battery against three women in exchange for a light sentence.  20 women accused Filner of sexual harassment and misconduct. Some said he put them in “Filner headlocks.”  Filner could have faced up to five years in prison, but the plea bargain instead gave him three months of house arrest, three years' probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension. The plea deal let him escape  registering as a sex offender. Filner was allowed to keep his [[civil service system]] pension.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/plea-deal-by-kamala-harris-ag-office-for-sexual-harassing-san-diego-mayor-was-too-lenient-critics-say</ref>
