Georgia’s “Historic” Youngest Mayor Ousted After Just 10 Months Following Alleged Taxpayer-Funded Spending Spree and Sexually Suggestive Messages With 18-Year-Old Student

Ten months. That is how long it took for Georgia’s youngest elected mayor, a media-anointed “historic” figure who once called himself “the Obama of my family,” to be thrown out of office.

Jayden Williams, 23, was removed Saturday by the Stockbridge City Council after a roughly 10-hour investigative hearing into allegations that he treated the city purchasing card like a personal wallet and traded sexually suggestive messages and explicit images with an 18-year-old male high school student.

The city confirmed the result on Sunday.

Mayor Pro Tem Elton Alexander is now acting mayor while the city prepares a special election. Williams can appeal to Henry County Superior Court. No criminal charges have been filed.

City workers flagged unusual charges and alerted management and the city attorney. An independent law-firm investigation followed. Local outlets including Atlanta News First and Fox News have reported the alleged personal burn on the municipal purchasing card at more than $4,000, restaurants, clothing, a haircut, a movie, plus about $2,600 in fuel and personal use of a city vehicle.

The council additionally considered allegations involving an 18-year-old male high school student who reportedly connected with Williams through a political mentorship program.

A police report documented sexually explicit and suggestive communications between the two. The student told investigators that he and Williams exchanged nude photographs.
