UPDATE: A shocking lawsuit filed against Turning Point staffer and Avondale City Councilwoman Jeannette Garcia alleges she made aggressive sexual advances toward a male co-worker and subsequently abducted his 14-year-old daughter when he rejected her advances. The allegations come from a post-election celebration in November 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona, raising urgent questions about conduct and safety.
According to the lawsuit, Garcia, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, offered the male employee a job in exchange for sex during the celebration. The complaint states that after feeling uncomfortable, the man, identified as John Doe, left the event around midnight. However, upon returning home 45 minutes later, he discovered his daughter was missing.
The lawsuit claims Garcia misled the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, asserting that the girl was safe with her. Around 2 a.m., John Doe managed to speak directly with Garcia, who allegedly confirmed she had his daughter. The disturbing details reveal that Garcia and two accomplices convinced the teenager to leave her home by falsely claiming they were concerned about her father’s behavior.
The father described in his lawsuit that his daughter was taken without “permission or consent” and alleged that sheriff’s deputies were “complicit” in the situation. He reported that since the incident, his daughter has faced significant emotional distress, affecting her school performance and social interactions.
Garcia has denied all allegations, issuing a statement declaring, “These claims are untrue. I have never kidnapped anyone, never harmed anyone, and never solicited anything inappropriate, ever.” She insists that her actions were misinterpreted and that she was only trying to assist the girl.
Previously employed by the conservative youth organization Turning Point, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, Garcia has faced controversy in the past, including a derogatory comment directed at actor Tom Hanks on social media.
Authorities have yet to charge Garcia in relation to these allegations. The case is developing, and as public outrage grows, many are calling for accountability and answers regarding the actions of both Garcia and law enforcement.
As this situation unfolds, further details are expected, and observers are urged to watch for updates on the ongoing legal proceedings. This alarming case highlights issues of workplace behavior and the responsibilities of public officials, raising critical questions about safety and trust within communities.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
