DETROIT (WXYZ) - Attorneys for a local mother who claims Charles Pugh had inappropriate contact with her teenage son plan to file a civil lawsuit against the City Council president on Monday. The woman's lawyers say the lawsuit will also be filed against the City of Detroit, Detroit Public School District and Frederick Douglass Academy. Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh’s bizarre and sudden absence from city government coincides with questions raised about gifts and cash given by Pugh the woman's son, a young man he mentors. The concerns were first reported by 7 Action News. Pugh gave the 18-year-old student more than $200 in cash , including money to pay for a prom night hotel and about $150 in dress clothes. He also purchased a cell phone for about $150 and paid for the cost of activation, according to the young man’s mother, who did not want her son to have a phone. 7 Action News recently spoke with the woman but we are not naming her or her son. The mom told us in a lengthy interview that she is troubled because the money and presents were kept secret from her. Pugh came into contact with the young man through the Charles Pugh Leadership Forum, which he runs out of Douglass Academy in Detroit, an all-male high school. He did not deny providing the gifts and cash.

What party was this scum...er...Clintonbag in?
Waiting....waiting.....
Obviously, since the dork was from Detroit, we know exactly which party he (it) is in.
And that party will soon have the pleasure of ruling over two or three states after the great reset.
And the rest of us will gladly finance a wall to keep liberals out - and confined to the festering third world nation that they so strongly want to build.
How does a mother have standing to file a suit for damages based on what happened to her now 18 year old son? The claim is his to file not hers.
Pickin em off by any means necessary.
Runs an male school and he’s attracted to young men?
This is the fruits of your work Justice Kennedy: state sponsored perversion.
The relationship started when the kid was 17. If there is nothing going on, why has the perp gone to ground?
Doesn't matter. If he's 18 now and of sound mind then the mother has no legal basis to bring the suit on his behalf. He's a grown man and has to act for himself.
I’m not a lawyer. All I know is that he bought the kid stuff when he was 17, kid is 18 now, there is a lawsuit and Pugh has basically disappeared. He is acting guilty. I don’t know what he did, if anything.
Its the least of his problems. Looks like Kevin Orr is preparing a legal order to strip Pugh of his official title and duties and declare him a voluntary termination.
Rumor is that other charges relating to Pugh’s official position, the school, and gifts may be coming.
Things that make you go Hmmmmm. From a LeDuff report in 2011. Claims his finance director made the hundreds of unexplained withdrawals. The finance director is now an Obama appointee working in DC. Sounds like it has the potential of illegal Obama campaign funding.

I believe the mother has standing concerning whatever happened before her son became 18.
Why would you believe that? Based on your "hoosierham" name I assume you are from Indiana and I can assure you that's NOT the law in Indiana.
Good find, cc! What ever became of that? I wonder if LeDuff will revisit the issue.
They have a right to marry and the government mandates we support their love.
...what a freaking cesspool.
(no "sludge contract" pun intended)
Pugh spotted in Seattle Washington.
