Robert Jacob, former Democratic mayor of Sebastopol in Sonoma
County, was arrested Saturday on five felony and one misdemeanor
sexual assault charges against a minor, according to the Sebastopol
Police Department.
On Tuesday, the Democrat politician appeared in Sonoma County
Superior Court, where the number of felony charges was expanded to
11.
Sebastopol Police Chief Kevin Kilgore could not comment on how Jacob
and the victim knew each other or provide additional details on the
alleged crimes due to the ongoing investigation.
Jacob, 44, is being represented by Santa Rosa attorney Chris
Andrian, according to the Sonoma County Superior Court’s website.
Fox News called Andrian’s office for comment on the charges against
Jacob, but did not immediately hear back.
Jacob, who is a cannabis businessman, served on the Sebastopol City
Council beginning in 2012 and was elected mayor the following year.
He served a single four-year term and did not seek reelection, the
San Francisco Chronicle reported.
He was being held in the Sonoma County Detention Facility without
bail.
Police have asked anyone with information pertaining to the
investigation to contact the Sebastopol Police Department at 707-
