The California Attorney General’s Office would prosecute any potential criminal charges against the mayor of the wine country town of Windsor, who has been accused of sexual assault by six women, officials said Monday.
Mayor Dominic Foppoli has denied the women’s claims, writing in a statement over the weekend that he is “completely innocent of the conduct alleged” in a recent news report by the San Francisco Chronicle.
The state Attorney General’s Office took over as lead agency after a conflict of interest within the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office forced local prosecutors to recuse themselves from the case, the Press Democrat reported.
