Episode Details

Jury selection kicks off in Sonoma County for the civil trial of former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli, accused by seven women of sexual assault and misconduct—some claims stretching back two decades. Foppoli, who resigned in 2021 after the allegations surfaced, denies all charges and says he’s been innocent for years. The accusers, known as Jane Does, allege multiple assaults, while prosecutors in two prior criminal investigations cited insufficient evidence. Now, the women seek accountability through civil court, with Foppoli’s defense arguing encounters were consensual and statutes of limitations may bar prosecution. A separate civil suit by Farrah Abraham also looms. Foppoli, a new father to a six-month-old, hopes to clear his name as opening statements loom next week—and he plans to testify.
