SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego's former mayor has almost vanished from public view since a defiant resignation speech amid widespread allegations that he sexually harassed women. Bob Filner returns to the spotlight at least once more.

The former 10-term congressman will be sentenced Monday for one felony and two misdemeanors for placing a woman in a headlock, kissing another woman and grabbing the buttocks of a third. He pleaded guilty in October in an agreement with prosecutors, who will recommend that he get three months of home confinement and three years of probation.
