How a former El Cajon lawmaker came to face a week in jail – The San Diego Union-Tribune

Six months after Bessmon Ben Kalasho scored a surprise win in his 2016 campaign for El Cajon City Council, the political newcomer was named in a lawsuit accusing him of rigging the results of a beauty pageant after one of the contestants refused his sexual advance.

The first-term council member denied the accusation, along with allegations that he and his wife, Jessica, created fake social-media profiles that were used to attack people and businesses who had rubbed the couple the wrong way.

The legal claims sparked a years-long odyssey that continues to this day.
