He is being held without bail, and his next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case brought by prosecutors only surfaced this week, when Torres’ alleged victim came forward to police to share their account of the abuse from Torres that they allegedly endured when they were both minors, which continued when Torres aged into adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victim alleged that Torres’ abuse began when they were only four years old and continued for nearly another decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a separate case from the ongoing and parallel police investigation into Torres for different allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor, which has been active since late August, authorities said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Please know that this department will always support survivors of sexual violence and abuse and need to know that it’s never too late to come forward,” San José Police Chief Paul Joseph said during a news conference on Wednesday about the arrest. “Doing so takes courage, but know that you will be supported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12013307\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12013307\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/241106-Election-Mom-Folo-01-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarsky speaks to the press about the child molestation case against former San José Councilmember Omar Torres on Nov. 6, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarsky expressed gratitude to the person who reported the alleged assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes people look askance at survivors who come forward years after they were victimized and wonder what took them so long to come forward. As a sex crime prosecutor, I’ve spoken with many of these survivors. They are heroic,” Boyarsky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many have lived with the pain and suffering inflicted upon them for decades, often wondering, ‘Is there anyone they can talk to? Is there anyone that will listen to them? Will anyone understand?’ We understand, and we care. We understand perfectly why they keep the violent crimes against them secret. We understand the incredible courage, the strength that it takes to finally come forward,” Boyarsky added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Matt Mahan said he and the entire city council are “absolutely horrified” at the allegations against Torres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These allegations are every parent’s worst nightmare. But you don’t have to be a parent to be sickened by the charges against Omar Torres, which are some of the most serious charges imaginable,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited the police department for its investigation of the prior allegations against Torres and said he believes the alleged victim in the current case felt comfortable to come forward because of the diligent work by investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have full faith in our police department and the district attorney’s office to get to the bottom of this case and ensure that Omar Torres is held accountable if proven guilty,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres — who had been under mounting pressure to resign while being investigated on the prior allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor — submitted a letter of resignation to the city late Tuesday afternoon, and police arrested him the same day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More South Bay News' tag='south-bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if Torres knew he would be arrested Tuesday. His resignation letter, addressed to his council colleagues and constituents, was received by the city clerk’s office around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by this news organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my position as Councilmember, effective Nov. 27, 2024. This choice comes with a heavy heart, but I believe it is in the best interest of my constituents and my community,” Torres wrote in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Serving the people of San José has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Together, we have shared victories, tackled challenges, and strived for a more resilient community.

And it came nine months after Chevron and PBF gave up their attack on new refinery pollution controls, leading to a settlement with the companies worth tens of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCune said he earned the win and that the oil industry super PAC had no big influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started campaigning somewhat early. I started walking streets and knocking on doors in August, and I managed to walk every street in the district by Election Day. I put out yard signs six weeks before any other candidate,” McCune said in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think of myself as the most centrist candidate in this race. I didn’t try to appeal to the extremes. I think that worked well in Belmont District 4,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt and McCune faced off against each other because Belmont recently transitioned from citywide, at-large elections to district contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, oil industry groups have poured money into elections in Richmond and Benicia, cities that are home to the Chevron and Valero refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt has pointed out that Belmont has no oil industry infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The super PAC involved in Belmont’s election is officially called the Committee for Jobs and the Economy, Sponsored by Energy Companies and Building Trades Unions Representing Working Men and Women. Its representatives and those for the oil companies funding it have not commented on why they spent money on flyers supporting McCune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Michelson, a political scientist at the Peninsula’s Menlo College, said McCune’s win is another example of the power of outside spending unleashed by the Supreme Court’s 2010 \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained\">Citizens United decision\u003c/a>. That 5–4 ruling opened the way for corporations and unions to give unlimited amounts of money to political committees active in election campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a down-ballot race during a presidential election, candidates for local office often have a challenging time breaking through the noise to get their message out to voters,” Michelson said. “An outside group with deep pockets can get their message out and influence vote choice. It’s not unique to this race. We saw it all over the country yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

With more than half the votes counted, nearly 58% of votes favored the bond compared to about 44% against the measure. The Associated Press called the race Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of the environmental bond, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, argued over the course of the campaign that it could prevent billions of dollars in damages from extreme storms, wildfires, drought, and rising sea levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups who pushed for the bond celebrated after lobbying for the bond for nearly two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With so much at stake, we’re eager to see a positive result that enables California to lead on climate action and secure a greener, more equitable future for our communities,” said Mike Young, senior political and organizing director with California Environmental Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Live 2024 Election Results\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/california,Learn about the results of the California Propositions' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/09/Aside-California-Propositions-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here in the Bay Area, Prop 4 funding will accelerate shoreline wetland restoration to buffer cities from rising tides and improve the Bay’s health,” said Joshua Quigley, policy manager with Save the Bay. “Yesterday’s election changes the national political landscape but doesn’t alter the increasing impacts of climate change and the urgency of addressing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bond is designed “to respond to challenges wrought by climate change by investing in natural and built infrastructure,” according to an overview. It also includes some funding for programs cut from the state’s budget. At least 40% of the bond must help vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our communities deserve to have access to safe and clean drinking water, must be protected during extreme heat, and have the necessary resources to make their communities more wildfire safe,” state Sen. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The path to forging the climate bond included massive obstacles: Lawmakers originally wanted a larger $15 billion bond, but they had to contend with a $46.8 billion state deficit, and Gov. Newsom slashing billions of dollars from climate programs in the state budget, competing ideas and a shrinking bonding capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 170 nature and environmental justice-oriented groups pressed lawmakers and Newsom to ensure the climate bond was at least $10 billion to address priority areas, including extreme heat, wildfires and sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were also internal debates about what the climate bond should cover. Although the state usually uses bond dollars for long-term benefits such as infrastructure projects, environmental groups wanted lawmakers to allot funds for climate efforts and programs — electric vehicles, community-based programs, coastal resilience, and more — some of which the governor cut from his budget.[aside label='More Election Coverage' tag='election-2024']Lawmakers ultimately crafted a measure that funds work in eight key areas: water, wildfires, coastal resilience, nature-based solutions, clean air, outdoor access, extreme heat and climate-smart working lands. The bond also sets aside $475 million for offshore wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It prioritizes and enables robust, decisive action to advance our climate goals and enhance community resilience against climate impacts,” said state Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters — mostly climate and environmental groups — paid nearly $9 million into a campaign in support. Opponents spent nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. GOP Leader Brian Jones told KQED that, in the long run, the proposition would cost taxpayers too much money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of the items that are being proposed to be paid for in this bond do not rise to the level of being a long-term infrastructure project,” he said. “In my opinion, Proposition 4 pays long-term for short-term projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It also includes some funding for programs cut from the state’s budget. At least 40% of the bond must help vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our communities deserve to have access to safe and clean drinking water, must be protected during extreme heat, and have the necessary resources to make their communities more wildfire safe,” state Sen. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The path to forging the climate bond included massive obstacles: Lawmakers originally wanted a larger $15 billion bond, but they had to contend with a $46.8 billion state deficit, and Gov. Newsom slashing billions of dollars from climate programs in the state budget, competing ideas and a shrinking bonding capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 170 nature and environmental justice-oriented groups pressed lawmakers and Newsom to ensure the climate bond was at least $10 billion to address priority areas, including extreme heat, wildfires and sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
