Councilmember Bien Doan stated, "I am researching every avenue possible to begin proceedings to remove Councilmember Torres from office as I am empowered to do under our city charter." This highlights the urgent administrative actions being considered in light of the child abuse allegations against Torres.
Mayor Matt Mahan condemned Torres, saying he is holding his council seat "hostage" as the situation escalates, reflecting the growing frustration within the council and the public.
Doan expressed, "Well, everything is not OK," emphasizing the severity of the situation as Torres requested excused absences instead of addressing the allegations against him.
Torres admitted to sending inappropriate texts about minors amid ongoing investigations, prompting Councilmember Doan to advocate for changes in the city charter surrounding criminal investigations against council members.
