Recall campaign against embattled San Jose councilmember Omar Torres launched
Residents in San Jose's 3rd District are banding together to launch a recall campaign against embattled Councilmember Omar Torres as he is being investigated for alleged sexual misconduct.
Torres has missed multiple council meetings since he was detained and questioned by police about text messages that describe sexually fantasizing about a minor.
"This is not okay, the behavior is not okay," said Melissa Reyes, who is among concerned District 3 residents and business owners.
Reyes was once a supporter of Torres, but now she was one of the first people to sign a notice of intent to recall him.
"When everything came out and I had time to digest it, it made my stomach turn," said Reyes.
