Former Mayor Accused of Abuse | California News
Description
Former Biggs mayor Robert Bassett faces multiple felony charges, including sexual assault and statutory rape, after allegations surfaced involving a foreign exchange student staying at his home. The student, now safe and receiving support, is central to the investigation, which police are carefully handling to protect the minor and ongoing legal process. Bassett, who stepped down from city council in 2025, is accused of a profound betrayal of trust — a shocking turn for a public official once seen as a community leader. As the case unfolds, the focus remains on justice and the victim’s well-being.
