A jury finds former Windsor, California Democratic mayor Dominic Foppoli civilly liable for sexual assaults against seven women, awarding a total of $13 million. The verdict follows claims that his conduct occurred over roughly two decades. A punitive damages phase is set to follow the liability determination.
Both outlets describe Foppoli’s role as mayor and the civil nature of the case, rather than a criminal conviction. They also characterize the allegations as involving seven women and the amount ordered at this stage. The Daily Mail also notes Foppoli faces an additional legal proceeding related to a separate case involving reality TV star Farrah Abraham, which is not covered in the Fox News excerpt.
