"content": "\u003cp>San José Mayor Matt Mahan and the rest of the City Council are calling on fellow Councilmember Omar Torres to resign in light of details from an ongoing police investigation into allegations that he committed sex acts with a minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan and the nine other council members issued their call in a joint statement Wednesday afternoon, about a week after a police affidavit was made public that showed Torres was being investigated on suspicion of “oral copulation of a minor” and “having an abnormal interest in children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all live in a nation in which we are innocent until proven guilty — that applies to every single person in our city, including those in elected office. We are in the midst of an active and ongoing investigation, and as our police department uncovers the truth, that truth will be shared with the community,” the Council statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the appalling nature of Omar Torres’ own words and the allegations against him, we believe that he has lost the trust of the community and is no longer able to effectively serve the residents of District 3,” the statement continued. “As his own words call into question his ability to lead and make decisions on the behalf of the community, we are calling on him to resign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres, a first-term councilmember who previously served as a council staffer and a community college district board member, has largely withdrawn from public view since the allegations against him were first revealed earlier this month, and further details were made public in the affidavit supporting a search warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation is ongoing, police officials said, and no criminal charges have been filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has no intention of resigning, he intends to continue fully serving his constituency,” his attorney, Nelson McElmurry, said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He absolutely wants to address the public concern surrounding the bits and pieces of information that have been released throughout the course of the investigation,” he added, emphasizing that much of what has been reported thus far has been “speculation” and doesn’t include full context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would rather wait until the investigation is completed and then address the issue, as well as responding to everyone’s questions regarding the details,” McElmurry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Wednesday, Mahan told KQED there is a higher bar for elected officials. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t believe he is fit to lead and represent our community. I was sick to my stomach as I read some of the text messages in the affidavit,” Mahan said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan said the case is a big distraction for Torres and for a city trying to address major civic issues of homelessness, housing and crime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s distracted by this. I’ve gone to community meetings over the last week in his district where he’s been unable to attend. There’s no way to get around the fact that this is going to take a lot of his time and attention and he needs to focus on the rest of that process,” Mahan said. “But in the meantime, the residents of District Three deserve strong representation, a leader who they trust and progress on the issues that affect their daily lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more on San José\" tag=\"san-jose-city-council\"]The investigation apparently started when \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/10/03/san-jose-police-warrant-city-councilmember-omar-torres/\">Torres contacted San José police\u003c/a> on Aug. 29 to report that he was being extorted by a 21-year-old man in Chicago named Terry Beeks, with whom, investigators later said, Torres had an “online sexual relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres told police that during their relationship over the course of the past two years, he sent Beeks “nude photos and videos of himself, some of which include his face,” investigators said, after which Beeks demanded money, threatening to release nude photos or videos if he didn’t pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Torres admitted that this extortion had been going on for a long time,” the affidavit said, stating that he had paid Beeks a total of roughly $22,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres showed police investigators his messages with Beeks, as well as screenshots of receipts with payments he made to him. He also told investigators that Beeks had a history of harassing his partner and his Council staff members when his demands were ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators then interviewed Beeks and seized his electronics, determining from messages on those devices that it appeared “Torres was paying Beeks for masturbation videos and nude photos” and “paying to Facetime with Beeks while he masturbated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/10/15/condemns-councilmember-sex-crime-investigation-minors/\">During their ongoing text correspondence, \u003c/a>Torres, in February 2022, sent Beeks a photo of a boy who he referred to as his “autistic son,” saying he was 11 years old and that he was “like daddy lol he already has a big penis haha,” according to text exchanges listed in the affidavit. He also talked about the boy’s pubic hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres, however, does not have any children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a text exchange with Beeks the following month, Torres described performing oral sex on a 17-year-old while working at a college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another 2022 text exchange with Beeks about having a sexual encounter, Torres asked, “U got any homies under 18.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In previous statements to the media, McElmurry, Torres’ attorney, did not refute the authenticity of the text messages but downplayed their significance, calling them “outrageous fantasy and role play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These communications do not reflect any real-world actions or intentions and were entirely fictitious,” McElmurry said. He described Beeks as a “friend-turned-stalker” of Torres’,” who steered conversations into topics that would be damaging to Torres, as part of his extortion plot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElmurry said that Torres “felt trapped in a cycle of manipulation” and chose to take “the difficult yet honorable path, reporting the situation to law enforcement despite the significant personal risks involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he made it clear that Torres “maintains his innocence.” “He has no interest in minors. He’s never had a relationship with minors in terms of that manner,” McElmurry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his election to the District 3 seat in 2022, Torres became the first openly gay Latino to hold a council seat in the county, according to his council website profile. Torres, 42, said he has dedicated much of his life to advocating for youth and families in San José and in the Guadalupe-Washington community where he was raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose Police Officers’ Association, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/04/01/san-joses-district-3-race-candidates-aim-for-a-downtown-core-where-everyone-feels-safe/\">who supported Torres’ opponent\u003c/a> in his council race, has publicly called on him to resign and had previously expressed disappointment that Torres’ colleagues on the Council were not asking for the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Councilmember Omar Torres criminal investigation into alleged sexual misconduct with a minor will run its course, but through his criminal defense attorney, he has admitted he sent multiple text messages about an 11-year-old autistic boy’s genitals and asked for help in procuring underage minors for sex,” Sgt. Steve Slack, the president of the police union, said in a statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s repugnant, and his own words meet the SJPOA’s threshold for resignation,” Slack said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, after the Council released its joint statement, the police union questioned why it took so long for city leaders to call on Torres to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although we commend this action, we are left wondering: what took them so long?” the union statement said. “After reading Torres’s self-admitted text messages seeking sex with underage minors and participating in an extortion scheme to keep his “fantasies” and “role-playing” about minors quiet, when are other leaders and organizations going to demand Torres resign?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Guy Marzorati contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We are in the midst of an active and ongoing investigation, and as our police department uncovers the truth, that truth will be shared with the community,” the Council statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the appalling nature of Omar Torres’ own words and the allegations against him, we believe that he has lost the trust of the community and is no longer able to effectively serve the residents of District 3,” the statement continued. “As his own words call into question his ability to lead and make decisions on the behalf of the community, we are calling on him to resign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres, a first-term councilmember who previously served as a council staffer and a community college district board member, has largely withdrawn from public view since the allegations against him were first revealed earlier this month, and further details were made public in the affidavit supporting a search warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I was sick to my stomach as I read some of the text messages in the affidavit,” Mahan said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan said the case is a big distraction for Torres and for a city trying to address major civic issues of homelessness, housing and crime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s distracted by this. I’ve gone to community meetings over the last week in his district where he’s been unable to attend. There’s no way to get around the fact that this is going to take a lot of his time and attention and he needs to focus on the rest of that process,” Mahan said. “But in the meantime, the residents of District Three deserve strong representation, a leader who they trust and progress on the issues that affect their daily lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>The investigation apparently started when \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/10/03/san-jose-police-warrant-city-councilmember-omar-torres/\">Torres contacted San José police\u003c/a> on Aug. 29 to report that he was being extorted by a 21-year-old man in Chicago named Terry Beeks, with whom, investigators later said, Torres had an “online sexual relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres told police that during their relationship over the course of the past two years, he sent Beeks “nude photos and videos of himself, some of which include his face,” investigators said, after which Beeks demanded money, threatening to release nude photos or videos if he didn’t pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Torres admitted that this extortion had been going on for a long time,” the affidavit said, stating that he had paid Beeks a total of roughly $22,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres showed police investigators his messages with Beeks, as well as screenshots of receipts with payments he made to him. He also told investigators that Beeks had a history of harassing his partner and his Council staff members when his demands were ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators then interviewed Beeks and seized his electronics, determining from messages on those devices that it appeared “Torres was paying Beeks for masturbation videos and nude photos” and “paying to Facetime with Beeks while he masturbated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/10/15/condemns-councilmember-sex-crime-investigation-minors/\">During their ongoing text correspondence, \u003c/a>Torres, in February 2022, sent Beeks a photo of a boy who he referred to as his “autistic son,” saying he was 11 years old and that he was “like daddy lol he already has a big penis haha,” according to text exchanges listed in the affidavit. He also talked about the boy’s pubic hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres, however, does not have any children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a text exchange with Beeks the following month, Torres described performing oral sex on a 17-year-old while working at a college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another 2022 text exchange with Beeks about having a sexual encounter, Torres asked, “U got any homies under 18.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In previous statements to the media, McElmurry, Torres’ attorney, did not refute the authenticity of the text messages but downplayed their significance, calling them “outrageous fantasy and role play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These communications do not reflect any real-world actions or intentions and were entirely fictitious,” McElmurry said. He described Beeks as a “friend-turned-stalker” of Torres’,” who steered conversations into topics that would be damaging to Torres, as part of his extortion plot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElmurry said that Torres “felt trapped in a cycle of manipulation” and chose to take “the difficult yet honorable path, reporting the situation to law enforcement despite the significant personal risks involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he made it clear that Torres “maintains his innocence.” “He has no interest in minors. He’s never had a relationship with minors in terms of that manner,” McElmurry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his election to the District 3 seat in 2022, Torres became the first openly gay Latino to hold a council seat in the county, according to his council website profile. Torres, 42, said he has dedicated much of his life to advocating for youth and families in San José and in the Guadalupe-Washington community where he was raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose Police Officers’ Association, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/04/01/san-joses-district-3-race-candidates-aim-for-a-downtown-core-where-everyone-feels-safe/\">who supported Torres’ opponent\u003c/a> in his council race, has publicly called on him to resign and had previously expressed disappointment that Torres’ colleagues on the Council were not asking for the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Councilmember Omar Torres criminal investigation into alleged sexual misconduct with a minor will run its course, but through his criminal defense attorney, he has admitted he sent multiple text messages about an 11-year-old autistic boy’s genitals and asked for help in procuring underage minors for sex,” Sgt. Steve Slack, the president of the police union, said in a statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s repugnant, and his own words meet the SJPOA’s threshold for resignation,” Slack said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, after the Council released its joint statement, the police union questioned why it took so long for city leaders to call on Torres to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although we commend this action, we are left wondering: what took them so long?” the union statement said. “After reading Torres’s self-admitted text messages seeking sex with underage minors and participating in an extortion scheme to keep his “fantasies” and “role-playing” about minors quiet, when are other leaders and organizations going to demand Torres resign?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both men, who were bus drivers for the transit agency, were San José residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a statement from Sheriff’s Office investigators, based on witness statements and security camera video footage, Bui allegedly shot Teotico multiple times while Teotico sat in the driver’s seat of his black Mercedes. The two had reportedly met so Bui could repay a debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teotico told his friend days earlier that a coworker owed him money from betting on NFL and college football games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12006410 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-23-at-5.39.19-PM-e1690159469592-1020x679.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than an hour before his death, Teotico told a friend he was meeting with a coworker to collect money and asked the friend to accompany him to ensure the exchange went “smoothly,” according to investigators. That friend later called 911 to report the shooting on Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 9:30 p.m., however, Teotico’s friend was driving near the Chaboya bus yard, where he saw Teotico and another man speaking between two cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teotico’s friend heard two to three “bangs” come from the parking lot and saw a white car parked next to Teotico’s vehicle drive past him, going southbound on South 7th Street toward Tully Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friend followed the white car for a short time but then returned to the VTA parking lot to check on Teotico, who he found unresponsive and “slumped over backwards sitting in the driver’s seat with blood coming from his nose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security camera footage from the VTA yard showed Bui and Teotico meeting at the rear of the Mercedes and looking into the trunk before Teotico closed it and went back to his driver’s seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui carried a black bag or folder in his left hand and had what appeared to be blue latex gloves, investigators said. When he walked to the front passenger door, he opened it, pulled a black firearm out of the bag and “fired several shots at Teotico.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detectives found three 40-caliber shell casings at the scene. A later search of Bui’s home turned up three guns registered to him, including two 40 caliber Glock-brand handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy District Attorney Michael Gilman said investigators are still looking into the firearms and plan to have crime labs analyze the weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the DA’s office is not currently alleging the murder was premeditated, Gilman said he feels the evidence will support that allegation, eventually, and the charge could be adjusted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money owed amounted to “thousands of dollars,” according to Gilman, but he didn’t offer a specific amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, VTA general manager Carolyn Gonot described Teotico as a “kind, hardworking driver who was well known amongst his colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said he was a father to two teenagers and that the VTA was “fortunate to have him as part of our staff for 10 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting of one VTA employee by another has stirred up painful trauma for many at the agency and in the community, officials said, as it came a little more than three and a half years after the May 2021 mass shooting at a VTA rail yard. In that shooting, a disgruntled VTA staffer fatally shot nine of his coworkers and then took his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We express our deepest condolences to the whole VTA community and the family of Mr. Teotico,” Gilman said. “We know that the VTA community is hurting. This is bringing back horrible memories from that horrible mass shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilman added that if any VTA workers need support, they can contact the agency’s Resiliency Center at 669-308-1475.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s drop-in services, there’s mental health treatment groups to try to help move past both the original mass shooting and any horrible memories that are kind of brought back up because of this incident,” Gilman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Both men, who were bus drivers for the transit agency, were San José residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a statement from Sheriff’s Office investigators, based on witness statements and security camera video footage, Bui allegedly shot Teotico multiple times while Teotico sat in the driver’s seat of his black Mercedes. The two had reportedly met so Bui could repay a debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teotico told his friend days earlier that a coworker owed him money from betting on NFL and college football games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That friend later called 911 to report the shooting on Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 9:30 p.m., however, Teotico’s friend was driving near the Chaboya bus yard, where he saw Teotico and another man speaking between two cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teotico’s friend heard two to three “bangs” come from the parking lot and saw a white car parked next to Teotico’s vehicle drive past him, going southbound on South 7th Street toward Tully Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friend followed the white car for a short time but then returned to the VTA parking lot to check on Teotico, who he found unresponsive and “slumped over backwards sitting in the driver’s seat with blood coming from his nose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security camera footage from the VTA yard showed Bui and Teotico meeting at the rear of the Mercedes and looking into the trunk before Teotico closed it and went back to his driver’s seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bui carried a black bag or folder in his left hand and had what appeared to be blue latex gloves, investigators said. When he walked to the front passenger door, he opened it, pulled a black firearm out of the bag and “fired several shots at Teotico.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detectives found three 40-caliber shell casings at the scene. A later search of Bui’s home turned up three guns registered to him, including two 40 caliber Glock-brand handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy District Attorney Michael Gilman said investigators are still looking into the firearms and plan to have crime labs analyze the weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the DA’s office is not currently alleging the murder was premeditated, Gilman said he feels the evidence will support that allegation, eventually, and the charge could be adjusted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money owed amounted to “thousands of dollars,” according to Gilman, but he didn’t offer a specific amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, VTA general manager Carolyn Gonot described Teotico as a “kind, hardworking driver who was well known amongst his colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said he was a father to two teenagers and that the VTA was “fortunate to have him as part of our staff for 10 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting of one VTA employee by another has stirred up painful trauma for many at the agency and in the community, officials said, as it came a little more than three and a half years after the May 2021 mass shooting at a VTA rail yard. In that shooting, a disgruntled VTA staffer fatally shot nine of his coworkers and then took his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We express our deepest condolences to the whole VTA community and the family of Mr. Teotico,” Gilman said. “We know that the VTA community is hurting. This is bringing back horrible memories from that horrible mass shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilman added that if any VTA workers need support, they can contact the agency’s Resiliency Center at 669-308-1475.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s drop-in services, there’s mental health treatment groups to try to help move past both the original mass shooting and any horrible memories that are kind of brought back up because of this incident,” Gilman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It includes an early screen for reports involving speech protected by federal or state law, a structure for providing updates on existing claims and a dashboard for reporting incidents to the community, according to the message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders say the new process is in response to concerns with PIHR, including confusion about its purpose, the timeline for following up on submitted reports and “long-standing concerns about the potential for the PIHR process to chill freedom of expression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system is formed around Title VI, which prohibits institutions receiving federal funding from discriminating on the basis of race, while the previous focused on “protected identity harm,” which the email calls “vague.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the guidance is “interim,” administrators said in the email sent to students on Tuesday, and some policies will continue to be evaluated over the next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that how students respond largely depends on how the policy changes affect their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s just a matter of being able to experience it first and see how they’re going to play into action,” they told KQED. “Student reaction could largely vary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
