PHOENIX AZ Aug 28 2011 – The son of Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon will face a suspension from his job as a Phoenix Police officer after an internal investigation found he had sex on duty and inappropriately touched another city employee, according to police records obtained by the ABC15 Investigators.
Officer Jeffrey Gordon is also accused of sending pornographic text messages and illegally using a private police database to search for information about a woman. Those allegations are unresolved, records show.
Phoenix police launched an investigation in January, after a city employee reported that Gordon “intentionally had non-consensual sexual contact” with her.
Gordon was also accused of sending two pornographic video texts to the woman while on duty.
He told investigators that he may have sent them “inadvertently.”
During their investigation, Gordon also admitted to having sex and oral sex on-duty with a different woman.
Police officials decided to suspend Gordon for 32 hours.
Both Phoenix Police and the Mayor turned down interview requests. But both released statements.
Statement from Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson:
“Consistent with department policy, Officer Jeffrey Gordon was investigated for allegations of misconduct by the Professional Standards Bureau of the Phoenix Police Department. A seven member Disciplinary Review Board, consisting of members of the public, peer officers, police commanders and an assistant police chief reviewed the investigation and findings and recommended a 32-hour suspension to Acting Police Chief Joe Yahner. Officer Gordon, who has returned to duty in the Estrella Mountain Precinct, will serve that suspension.”
Statement from Mayor Phil Gordon:
“Like any father, I will stand by my son and his family no matter how difficult the circumstances. Jeff has served the City of Phoenix with honor for 7 years, receiving numerous commendations and a Medal of Lifesaving recognition. With this incident closed, I know he’ll again serve with honor.”
