Imad Hamad, an Arab-American civil rights leader based in Dearborn, is cooperating with an independent investigation of allegations that he sexually harassed women, according to his attorney.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the investigator, who was hired by the national office of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has also interviewed a number of women over the past three months. Hamad has been under scrutiny since State Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, sent a letter to the ADC, accusing Hamad of sexually harassing her and other women when she worked in his Dearborn office for five months in 1999.
Hamad was placed on administrative leave in June. He had served as the ADC senior national adviser and Michigan regional director.
