PAXTON, Ill. (WAND) - The Paxton City Council voted Tuesday evening to censure one of its members.

The council passed a resolution that not only censures Alderman Robert Pacey but demands his resignation.

The resolution cited pending lawsuits in Ford County involving Pacey's employment at Paxton-Buckley-Loda Schools. The resolution said the three lawsuits accuse Pacey of "inappropriate contact and/or interactions with minors at Alderman Pacey's place of employment."

The resolution also noted a Title IX complaint levied against Pacey in March.

WAND News reported in August that a Title IX investigation by a consultant hired by the district found no violation had occurred.

Pacey has not been criminally charged in Ford County, according to a search of his name in online court records.
