FORT MYERS, Fla. —
A police report obtained by Gulf Coast News reveals new details about sexual misconduct allegations against Fort Myers Mayor Kevin Anderson.
Two men brought the allegations to light at Monday's city council meeting. The mayor was escorted out of chambers by police as tensions in the room boiled over.
Twenty-three-year-old Kagan Vann is one of the men making the allegations. He used time at the public comment podium to talk directly to Anderson.
"You propositioned me for sex. You — on top of that — when I kept saying no, were being pushy and forceful," Vann said at the meeting.
Vann also accused the mayor of drugging him. He claims it happened while they were having a drink in November of 2024.
A report filed then with the Fort Myers Police Department reveals that Vann was taken to the hospital and told officers that the mayor was "allegedly offering him money in exchange for sexual acts."
Gulf Coast News spoke with Kagan after Monday’s meeting.
"It’s looking at your attacker in the face — and basically calling him out on it," he said. "It’s hard. It’s tough. But it needs to be done."
FDLE confirmed to Gulf Coast News that the agency did get an inquiry into the mayor — but a spokesperson said the matter is now closed. FDLE didn't share the outcome or specific details. Gulf Coast News has requested any related reports.
Eighteen-year-old Florida Gulf Coast University student Dominic Hendricks also accused the mayor of misconduct at Monday’s meeting.
