Stockbridge mayor removed after explicit messages with teen

In Stockbridge, Georgia, the City Council voted 3-0 to remove Mayor Jayden Williams, 23, after an investigation found he exchanged explicit images with a high school student who had just turned 18. The communications occurred before he took office. Williams' attorney said the removal was not based on evidence. The city will hold a special election within six months.
