Omar Torres, a former council member, was charged with forcibly sodomizing a 13-year-old boy nearly 25 years ago, with recent allegations surfacing.
In a resignation letter, Torres expressed that stepping down was in the best interest of his constituents, despite the surrounding turmoil of his pending arrest.
San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph emphasized the gravity of the allegations, clarifying that the recent charges against Torres were distinct from earlier communications in 2022.
The felony complaint restricts the alleged illegal activities to a brief period in 1999 when Torres was 18 and the victim was only 13.
