PHOENIX (CBS5) -
Phoenix Police Officer Jeff Gordon has had his law enforcement certification suspended for six months. He's the son of former Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and is accused of inappropriately touching a city of Phoenix employee at work.
The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board held a vote Wednesday. The former mayor was there to watch.
The employee claimed Gordon went too far when giving her a massage at work. During the investigation Gordon also admitted to having sex while on duty.
"Between all the media press and the stress and the embarrassment that I've put upon my family, that alone has created the crystal clear thoughts I've got in my head regarding what's correct and what's incorrect and although I knew that this was incorrect to begin with, I can't tell you enough how remorseful I am that this has actually occurred," Gordon told the board.
Phoenix police said he will be on an administrative assignment pending an appeal.
