ROCHESTER Mayor Caroline McCarley and other city officials didn’t return requests for information Tuesday about whether City Councilor Doug Lachance has resigned from his post.
Lachance, 56, is under investigation for allegedly grooming and sexually abusing teenage boys while he was mayor roughly 20 years ago. The Ward 1 councilor, who couldn t be reached for comment, has denied the allegations and hadn’t been charged with any crimes as of Tuesday.
Lachance had informed McCarley he would resign Monday, according to communications multiple city councilors said they received from McCarley over the weekend. Some said McCarley called them to inform them of the news, while Ward 2 Councilor Palana Belken said McCarley informed her in an email early Monday morning.
