Public commenter urges FGOC to investigate DA Jeff Rosen over alleged cover-up
Summary
During public comment a speaker identified as "Parent" urged the committee to open an investigation or begin removal proceedings against District Attorney Jeff Rosen, alleging he covered up sexual abuse and referenced media reporting and named individuals; the DA's office was not present to respond.
A public commenter identified in the meeting record as "Parent" used a three‑minute public-comment slot on Aug. 19 to ask the Finance and Government Operations Committee to open an investigation or consider removal proceedings against District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
The commenter alleged that Rosen was aware of sexual abuse involving the commenter’s children and "filed charges against me, with the intent of covering up this abuse," and said the DA’s conduct had allowed alleged perpetrators to continue offending. The speaker referenced reporting in The Mercury News and named a San Jose police officer, Saul Duran, and a physician, Dr. Patrick Klein, saying the DA had not pursued prosecutions in those cases. "He's supposed to be out there protecting the community. And what he's doing instead is he's covering up crimes," the commenter said.
Committee members did not take action on the allegations during the meeting; no DA representative responded during FGOC. The committee proceeded with its consent calendar and scheduled agenda items.
