After gaining the family’s trust, he violated program policy by spending time with the sisters outside the program, with their mother’s knowledge, which is when the alleged misconduct occurred, Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Duran’s participation in the program was voluntary, he served in his “official capacity as a police officer,” Joseph noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said Duran is alleged to have assaulted both sisters at the time, but the extended statute of limitations allowed for charges based only on his actions against the younger sister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran is charged with five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child who is 14 or 15 years old, Rosen said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen noted the alleged conduct with the older sister, and some alleged conduct when the younger sister later turned 18, “will be very relevant for a jury to hear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen said Duran was fired from The Parent Project based on complaints that he was spending time with women and girls involved with the program outside of its normal hours. None of the complaints described actions that were “criminal in nature,” Rosen said, “but in hindsight, were concerning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Rosen and Joseph encouraged anyone else with similar stories to the sisters to come forward to police, even if they were afraid to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Afraid because the offender was a police officer because too much time had passed, or because they believed he would be protected by his fellow officers,” Joseph said. “Our actions today will hopefully show that there is no protection for any officer who is alleged to have committed such a serious crime or who has caused harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen defended The Parent Project as an “extremely successful program,” and said nothing like this has been reported before, but said his office is now reevaluating “how we vet and train the teachers of the program to try to make sure that nothing like this happens again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph said he ordered an “immediate review of all policies and procedures for all specific programs involving minors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under requirements from a state law passed in 2021, the department also forwarded information about the sexual misconduct investigation to the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, known as the POST Commission. The information could later be used in a process to decertify Duran, which would prohibit him from working as a police officer in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran, who was placed on administrative leave by the police department about a week before his arrest, is next scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to thank both of these young women for their courage. Without them, we would all still be in the dark,” Rosen said. “We will get justice for them and protect this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The police department said anyone who wants to share information about this case or similar experiences should contact Detective Sergeant Kilmer #3723 or Detective Sergeant Sanchez #4126 of the SJPD Internal Affairs, Criminal Investigations Detail by email at 3723@sanjoseca.gov and/or 4126@sanjoseca.gov, or 408-277-4082. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

After gaining the family’s trust, he violated program policy by spending time with the sisters outside the program, with their mother’s knowledge, which is when the alleged misconduct occurred, Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Duran’s participation in the program was voluntary, he served in his “official capacity as a police officer,” Joseph noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said Duran is alleged to have assaulted both sisters at the time, but the extended statute of limitations allowed for charges based only on his actions against the younger sister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran is charged with five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child who is 14 or 15 years old, Rosen said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen noted the alleged conduct with the older sister, and some alleged conduct when the younger sister later turned 18, “will be very relevant for a jury to hear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen said Duran was fired from The Parent Project based on complaints that he was spending time with women and girls involved with the program outside of its normal hours. None of the complaints described actions that were “criminal in nature,” Rosen said, “but in hindsight, were concerning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Rosen and Joseph encouraged anyone else with similar stories to the sisters to come forward to police, even if they were afraid to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Afraid because the offender was a police officer because too much time had passed, or because they believed he would be protected by his fellow officers,” Joseph said. “Our actions today will hopefully show that there is no protection for any officer who is alleged to have committed such a serious crime or who has caused harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen defended The Parent Project as an “extremely successful program,” and said nothing like this has been reported before, but said his office is now reevaluating “how we vet and train the teachers of the program to try to make sure that nothing like this happens again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph said he ordered an “immediate review of all policies and procedures for all specific programs involving minors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under requirements from a state law passed in 2021, the department also forwarded information about the sexual misconduct investigation to the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, known as the POST Commission. The information could later be used in a process to decertify Duran, which would prohibit him from working as a police officer in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran, who was placed on administrative leave by the police department about a week before his arrest, is next scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to thank both of these young women for their courage. Without them, we would all still be in the dark,” Rosen said. “We will get justice for them and protect this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The police department said anyone who wants to share information about this case or similar experiences should contact Detective Sergeant Kilmer #3723 or Detective Sergeant Sanchez #4126 of the SJPD Internal Affairs, Criminal Investigations Detail by email at 3723@sanjoseca.gov and/or 4126@sanjoseca.gov, or 408-277-4082. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

You have to say the thing.

We made it work,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was easier to be myself if I had control of making the clothes and making the look rather than just buying off the shelf. That agency really brought me peace.

He said voters wanted “a new type of politics in San José,” and the results could shake up the alignment of power at City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first entered this race, seven months ago, I think a lot of folks did not expect us to make it this far — most folks didn’t even expect us to make it into the runoff to begin with,” Tordillos said. “But we focused on getting out there, talking to as many voters as possible, really building those direct relationships with the people of District 3, and I think that’s carried us very far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote was the culmination of a campaign that began after the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013122/san-jose-councilmember-omar-torres-resigns-arrested\">shocking resignation and arrest\u003c/a> of former District 3 Councilmember Omar Torres, who pleaded no contest to charges of child sexual abuse. Tordillos acknowledged the district had “been through a lot” and said he was committed to rebuilding trust between City Hall and voters in the downtown district.[aside postID=news_12043418 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250529-SJARRESTSHELTERVOTE-22-BL-KQED.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First priority is just going to make sure that we staff up the District 3 office so that we can be responsive to constituent concerns, start to build those bridges with all of our neighborhood associations, all of our community leaders, so that we can really hit the ground running and represent all of the people of District 3,” Tordillos said. “After that, focus on policy.
