Fired Homestead manager files bias complaint

HOMESTEAD — A man of Palestinian descent who was fired from his nearly $180,000 city government job after allegedly viewing a fetish website at work and sending sexually suggestive text messages to a subordinate on his city-issued Blackberry has filed an employment discrimination complaint.

Former Homestead City Manager Mohammad Aref “Mike” Shehadeh, 52, was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 4, pending the outcome of an investigation into his work activities. He was fired for conduct unbecoming a city manager at a special Feb. 3 city council meeting after a private investigative firm reported the results of its probe into his work activities.

The probe revealed that Shehadeh used his city computer to spend time at Arab dating websites, with more than 300 visits. He also allegedly solicited business for his brother’s firm, engaged in political activities on behalf of some council members, and visited GoddessQetesh.com, a dominatrix website.

The hostess of GoddessQetesh.com describes herself as being interested in forced bi-curious activities, and states that she is seeking personal and financial slave servants.

The hostess further states that she enjoys doling out whippings, public humiliation and other risqu desires.

Shehadeh could not be reached for comment.

Heh.
