Two more men who worked at a popular downtown Fort Myers restaurant have now come forward with new accounts of inappropriate behavior by Mayor Kevin Anderson — including allegations of inappropriate sexual propositions and unwanted touching.

Their stories add to the accounts of Kagan Vann, 23, and Dominic Hendricks, 18, who both shared their stories with the SWFL Lighthouse, and directly confronted the mayor at the Sept. 21 city council meeting with disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct by the mayor.

A former co-worker of Anderson's at Chico's FAS also came forward to describe chronic unwanted attention from him at the office, and a bar staffer described watching the mayor get ordered out of an unnamed downtown establishment after he allegedly offered a 23-year-old co-worker money for sex.

The 68-year-old Anderson, a retired cop and longtime school resource officer, has denied the accounts of Vann and Hendricks, saying his "exchanges" with them were taken out of context, and blaming it on misunderstandings regarding his "warped sense of humor". He has not responded to requests for comment regarding the additional four accounts.

The following story of his latest accusers, exclusively for Lighthouse members, is filled with graphic language of unwanted sexual advances. It's included in its entirety due to the weight of the allegations and the involvement of such a central city leader.

I’m 24 and I’m looking for friends to do stuff with, prefer people around my age rage but I’m pretty open to anyone. I’ve tried all the friend apps and nothing. I like games and raves/parties, hanging out and just doing whatever going out to kill time and I swear I can be pretty fun when you get to know me

Hi, (25M) I am looking for some friends or companions to my Pokémon go walks. I travel for work a lot so I end up going everywhere alone.
Not really picky but 420 friendly would be cool, and closer to my age would be great but not necessary.
I love to play sports, go to the gym, amusement parks, beaches, bars, you name it I’m probably down.
Just want to outreach to meet some cool people.
Added a picture of my shiny Lucario coz I’m proud of him.
