Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Jayden Williams, Georgia's youngest elected mayor at 23, was impeached and removed from office just 10 months after taking the position in Stockbridge due to allegations of misusing city funds and exchanging sexually suggestive messages with an 18-year-old high school student.
- Williams allegedly used a city purchasing card for over $4,000 in personal expenses, including meals, clothing, and gas, and used a city vehicle for personal purposes; he testified that the spending was unintentional and that he repaid the money.
- Although the police found no criminal violations regarding his communications with the 18-year-old student, they referred the case for administrative review due to ethical concerns related to Williams' interactions with a participant in a city-affiliated mentorship program.
- Williams stated that the student was an adult at the time of their communication, which occurred before Williams was sworn into office, and denied that the student was part of the "Mayor for a Day" program.
