Sure, everybody pleads guilty to kidnapping and rapes that they don't commit.

Sure, everybody pleads guilty to kidnapping and rapes that they don't commit.

It's a vast right-wing conspiracy..

[VOA]

The younger De La Fuente, 34, pleaded guilty in May to five felony
sex assault charges involving attacks on three prostitutes
and a 15-year-old girl he may have mistaken for a prostitute.

Maybe convicts family is hoping for a precedent allowing
erasure of a guilty plea...
from the Senator Craig case...

When this story first broke,I was amazed that DeLaFuente didn't resign in disgrace to "spend time with his family".But he one-bettered that by running for mayor!Now he says the reason his son assaulted these women was because the police had it in for a "Mexican with too much power".

I DIDN'T EXPECT THE SPANISH INQUISITION.

This stunt will bring the family shame back to the front pages again!(although he himself has no shame)He made very serious charges in an off-the-cuff manner.While thinking he was helping his son's cause,he has unwittingly invited the feds into the whole mess.That's a local call,however,as the FBI has been investigating the circus known as the Oakland City government for some time now.If incompetence were a crime,they'd all be looking at long stretches. This very delusional man is currently the president of the Oakland City Council.

Some observers attribute his behavior to a small shard of brain that was found lodged in his skull.
