Kapiti District councillor David Scott will appear in Porirua District Court tomorrow charged with indecent assault.
The 71-year-old was arrested and charged following a complaint made against him.
It was alleged he pressed himself against a female co-worker after a meeting at the council's headquarters in Paraparaumu last month.
A woman who answered his cellphone tonight said: "We can't make any comment at the moment."
Kapiti Mayor K Gurunathan had no comment.
