A judge has found sufficient evidence to hold Jon Jacobo, a former Mission District leader, accountable for sexual assault charges after a preliminary hearing. Jacobo faces three felony counts, including rape, non-consensual oral sex, and sexual battery, as well as a domestic violence charge reduced to a misdemeanor. Following the hearing, both his defense and the prosecuting attorney for the victims expressed hope and positivity regarding the outcome. The prosecution presented evidence from a police investigation linked to a 2021 allegation, emphasizing the gravity and implications of the case.
"Today's ruling by Judge A. Marisa Chun was an important step towards holding Jacobo accountable for the violence and the crimes that he has perpetrated against multiple victims," stated attorney Elisha Jussen-Cooke.
Defense attorney Martina Avalos expressed her feeling of being 'invigorated' and hopeful that 'the truth will come out' regarding the narrative against her client.
Jacobo is facing three felony counts related to alleged incidents of rape, non-consensual oral sex, and sexual battery, alongside a domestic violence charge, reduced to a misdemeanor.
