The state AG has taken over the investigation into Dominic Foppoli, the former Windsor mayor accused of multiple sexual assaults.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office has turned over its 11-month sexual assault investigation into former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli to California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office, sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Juan Valencia confirmed.
Foppoli is accused of multiple sexual assaults going back to 2001, as first outlined by the San Francisco Chronicle last year.
The Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office recused itself from the case because one of Foppoli’s accusers, former deputy district attorney Esther Lemus, worked for the office, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office confirmed.
