Reporter well, here at the san jose law office the young man says that he final will i got to the point emotionally where he could handle the type of pressure that would come from this kind of lawsuit. Still he says the constant sexual abuse robbed him of his childhood and still torments him as an adult. 23yearold dennis flynn is suing his adoptive parents for what he called years of constant sexual abuse starting when he was a child. It got to the point where it was every morning, every afternoon, every evening. Reporter at the Alexander Law Group office, dennis said he thought it was a dream come true when he was adopted from a russian orphanage at nine years old by ralph flynn, a marketing executive, and his wife carolyn flynn, a high tech executive. But dennis says life at the los gatos home was filled as his lawsuit states outrageous, grotesque and painful acts of sexual abuse. For a long time, they told me that what they did was right. What they did was out of love. And i had to relearn what love really is. Reporter after two investigations by the Sheriffs Office, the parents were charged in january with 44 criminal counts.

Its still a journey to me to heal. And to bring justice. Reporter now, the adoptive mother carolyn is free on bail while the father is still being held on 2. 5 million bail.

Nbc bay areas Michelle Roberts is live in fremont. Michelle, we are learning that commuters now can ride the trains to stockton for the First Time Since the derailment. Reporter yeah, regular Service Today although there were some minor delays as they were passing the scene that caused some issues for some people. But generally a nice, easy day for most. I am here at the train yard that the train involved in the accident was parked here most of the day as engineers were checking it out, making sure it was safe to make the journey to stockton. It left about an hour and a half ago. Today crews made repairs and made sure it was Strong Enough for that ride. Union pacific says an engineer has been on scene in sinoi investigating what caused the mudslide and if there is a risk it could happen again. Today a spokesperson says its unlikely. Mud side sensors will be installed because this is the first time in two decades in that spot. Ace owns the train but not the track welcomes any safety technology. I think it would be a great benefit anywhere along the tracks where there could be a potential slide. Again, we work with u. P. On that. Safety is our top priority. So anything that we can implement that would enhance security and safety would be great. Reporter according to ace ridership was slightly down today. There were nine nor delays to allow for slowing at the scene. They are encouraging any passengers who lost personal items on board during the accident to contact their stockton office.

The city suspects that employees of the company sewer rat plumbing actually cut a hole in the main sewer line and did not cap it correctly. The weekend storm then pushed rocks into the line and clogged it. The company has not returned our phone calls. Well, it is a mountain of junk and debris that is not getting cleaned up. Neighbors in a San FranciscoCommunity Say trash in front of one house is not only an eyesore, its just a health hazard. Nbc bay areas Chuck Coppola joins us more with the communitys plea to city leaders to get it cleaned up. Reporter these situations get extended in San Francisco because city departments have to pay out of their own budgets for the City Attorney to prosecute them. Neighbors in glen park have complained for years about the tangle of plants, pots and cardboard boxes at this house on juice avenue. It also has a growing stockpile of lumber in the backyard and h has neighbors worried. The amount of wood and other debris that is especially in the backyard. I worry about like what happens if one night something sparks. Reporter neighbors say the yard attracts rodents. We have three children. We would like to not have to live this way. Reporter after climbing over boards with nails, we found the owner, tamir martyr, in his backyard. He told us the lumber is for a retaining wall he hopes to build and privacy. This is to put a screen. Reporter its more than a screen or barricade. Its a war between neighbors. This is the living plant and they killed it. I leave it here. The people ask what is this . So youre leaving these here as a protest. Somewhat. Do you like this home the way it is today . I dont like it at all. I dont like it to a degree. What would you like it to be . What do you wish it could become . Not a desert like this. Because right now if you come over t cut on this side just to make me jump out of my skin. Reporter city health and building inspectors come and go, but so far no action. When an inspection is about to come out hell clear kind of make a pathway to the door. Maybe do a little pathway in the back. But then once thats over and the inspectors go, oh, well, at least you have a pathway. Even if the City Attorney sees and is well aware of an extremely dangerous or problematic code violation, if the department does not request the City Attorney to file suit the City Attorney simply cant do it. Reporter the supervisor that was Chuck Coppola. We apologize for cutting him off. We have posted a slide show of the pictures that we gathered from that mans house. You can watch it on nbcbayarea. Com. Weve been talk a lot about the incoming rain, another storm that is headed our way, chief meteorologist has been watching that closely as well. When is the going to hit . In the next three to six hours well continue to see areas of drizzle and scattered rain on the increase. The actual storm front thats going to produce some of the heavier rainfall is still offshore here. About 250 to 300 miles. Again eventually it will get here. We think for the morning commute it will have the best chance of producing rainfall in the north bay. Also San Francisco temperatures starting in the o50s. For the south bay a dry commute and cloud. By the afternoon everyone will have the chance here of rainfall for the south bay 67 degrees, trivalley 65. And still some heavier areas of rain that will continue in San Francisco and the north bay. This no doubt will be where well pick up some of the heaviest rainfall. What i want to do next is take you to the arrival times of the systems that will be coming our way over the next four to five days. As we get a look at tomorrow morning youre going to see this will be arriving in the north bay around 9 00 in the morning. The storm system after that will quickly arrive once we hit friday mornings forecast. And then by this weekend were looking at a system on saturday at 10 00 p. M. Then for sundays forecast well find another area of wet weather by the evening hours. All this rainfall across the bay quarter will mean snow for the sierra. It looks like saturday, sunday and monday. Were expecting about a foot of snow up across the higher elevations. Were tracking exactly how much rainfall well get for the bay area in about 25 minutes.

Hewlettpackard Carly Fiorina ended her president ial bid back in february. Today she was back on the campaign trail. The crowd cheered when she embraced texas senator ted cruz at a miami rally today and gave him her endorsements. She told the audience ted cruz is the only republican who can teach donald trump from winning the gop nomination. She also praised cruise for his outsider status and dedication to conservative principles. Now, donald trump may be moving closer to the republican nomination for president , but hes doing so largely without the support of silicon valleys gop donors. Particularly those in the tech community. Nbc bay areas political analyst larry gersen is with us. Lets talk about why he cant succeed with valley republicans. After all theyre businessmen, hes a businessman. Reporter lets go the other way first, jessica. Theres a strong democratic tilt in silicon valley. Which makes it difficult for just about any republican to overcome. Only Florida Republican senator marco rubio or more specifically a rubio superpac, has received any money, thats 3 million from oracle ceo larry ellisson. Beyond that, no republican has raised more than . 75 million. Compare that with 16 million for Hillary Clinton. 2 million for Bernie Sanders, and well, we see where the valley leans. But beside all of it is that trump, the leader, has done worst of all bringing in a paltry 31,000. That is a big difference there. Now, obviously hes done really well in other parts of the country. But there is a big disconnect between trump and silicon valley. And it may be because of issues in his stance on those. Reporter yeah. Look. Trump seems to be out of step with the technology community. He opposes the Transpacific Partnership deal which valley lead ares see as providing the ability to sell more of their products. Trump has also vowed to end the h 1 B Visa Program which enables Valley Companies to bring in quality highskilled workers. And theres the impasse also with respect to the apple phone. The fact that the government wants apple to unleash that phone, open it up because may be a terrorist item. Trump has said were going to boycott apple for its resistance to the federal pressure. All these things go the other way from where the valley wants to go. A lot of Business Issues obviously. But what about the larger questions of morality . Where is the disconnect between the companies and trump there . Reporter social questions here. Silicon valley and trump differ on lots of major social issues. Once he was prochoice. Now trump has done a 180 and is now prolife. Something that offends an awful lot of people here in the valley. Trump also opposes samesex marriage. And he is opposed, by the way, he has proposed i should say to appoint a Supreme Court justice that will reverse the courts recent decision. Finally theres this whole question of immigration. My goodness. When most people here believe that the state and the region have thrived from the contributions of immigrants. So look, whether business or cultural ideas or whatever, whatever the difference might be, trump and most of the valley residents are just out of sync. Now, that doesnt mean he wont get the republican nomination, jessica. But if he does, its going to be with very little support from this area of the state. It will be interesting to see what happens. Thank you very much, larry. Lets talk about the democrats for a moment as weve been telling you Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are debating in miami. You can see it right there. Were going to recap tonights showdown in our next newscast at 11 00. Well bring you complete coverage. Now after several failed attempt the idea of a soda tax has bubbled up again.

You can see a live look here for the San Francisco bay bridge. We had the winds going and the rains going to be picking up, too. Well talk more about that heavier rain rolling in in just a few minutes. I think if youre whimsical, if you like dr. Seuss youre probably going to think its a great idea. Could it work . Well show you the plans for the new bay bridge bike path. And well let you be the judge. A fireravaged hot springresort harb a fire ravaged hot springs resort in lake county is making plans to reopen. Harbin hot springs says the corbin resorts may take reservations as early as summer. Its facility was destroyed last summer but the hot and cold springs are intact. The openers say the patrons may have to rough it a little bit while they work to rebuild. They admit the project will likely take them a few years. Accusations of misusing taxpayer funds, several wastewater agencies are now demanding that San Jose City leaders turn over public records. The group claims the city is using rate payer funds, not programs associated with Wastewater Treatment. The group says the public records will show if this is true or not. Their attorneys spoke to us this morning. So weve been forced to take steps to protect our interests and our rate payers. The agencies need to know that every dollar sent to san jose is being spent for Wastewater Treatment purposes. Right now theres no way of knowing what does the city of san jose have to hide . This is the same law firm that helped san bruno win a multibillion dollar judgment against pg e after a fire. The city of san jose has responded tonight denying the accusation and saying in part their publicity stunt only spreads misinformation and wastes everyones time and money. You may want to wear gloves when you hear this. A new study finds that bart is the second germiest Mass Transit System in the country. New york of course ranking number one. New yorks bacteria tend to be associated with respiratory illnesses. Bart, though, was a distant second here the kind of bacteria found on bart is often associated with skin infections. Chicagos trains came in third. Pretty scary there. Scary indeed. Dream weird or go home. That seems to be the motto as transit leaders describe some 069 proposed designs for a bay bridge bike path. Its still just a proposal. But the bay areas cycling Community Says it will be a reality if they have anything to say about it. And tonight, were finally getting a look at their vision. From the inspired to the imaginative, the ideas for a sky path connecting year ba baena island to the city are anything but dull. Its like a slow ramp thats just circular all the way down. 150 feet. I think if youre whimsical, if you like dr. Seuss youll probably think its a great idea. Reporter this man says these designs are the first part of the 30 million study to see if a pedestrian bike path is possible. If you add onto anything a bathroom or kitchen in your house or bike on a bay bridge it will be rough and expensive. Rough estimates top 500 million. But bike east bay says its worth it even if it just offers a little traffic relief on the bridge. There are a lot of folks who live in the east bay and work in San Francisco who are very eager to commute by bike. And it is a doable commute. There are people who ride from marin to San Francisco now. But not all cyclists agree. Theyre going about it all wrong. Former pro cycle letter robert muzy says take a lane away from cars and turn it into a bike path. It would be so much less expensive. Structurally it would be so much easier. And it would just annoy a bunch of motorists. That it would. The mtc says a big challenge is creating a bike path that wont weigh down the bridge and prevent megaships like this one from reaching the port of oakland. Theyve got some time to think about it. Transit leaders say even if a proposal does pass, they dont expect any construction to take place, at least for eight years. Look at that boat there. That sunny weather clearly when that was shot not what we saw out there today. We know theres more rain coming, jeff. Exactly right. The golden gate bridge, bay bridge all going to be very slick over the next 48 hours as we have not just one storm but two different storms in two days. And of course you can see right now theres not much spacing in between this. Its really going to be a onetwo punch here as this wet weather arrives. Specifically for tomorrow mornings commute, the best chance of heaviest rainfall will be in the north bay and San Francisco. Temperatures in the low 50z. On our microclimates here for the south bay mainly a cloudy start and 51 as the heaviest rainfall would not have made it to you just yet. Remember that scrolling sevenday forecast the bottom of the screen. Youll be able to get a sneak peek at whats to come for this upcoming weekend. Lets get you to the storm activity. You can see in the futurecast again for tomorrow morning by 9 00 a. M. Marin, napa and Sonoma County some of the heavier rainfall down forward San Francisco. And once again for fremont to san jose and also morgan hill, likely nothing in term of any heavy rainfall just yet. As we head through the afternoon this moves to the south. But something i want you to Pay Attention to here is the fact that this storm system may not make it any more south than san jose on thursday. So that means those of you in san martin and morgan hill as we advance this watch. Theres really little to no rainfall headed your way. I still think we may get some scatter rain. But in terms of heavy rainfall it doesnt look like its in the forecast for you at least on thursday again. From san jose down to about morgan hill. The north bay going to get hit all the way through thursday the and then heres the thing. Friday morning, thats when this reinforcing shot of our second storm arrives. And for the commute on friday morning, everyone expecting heavier pockets of rain. Also wind to 15 to 25 miles per hour. Well clear out the wet weather by friday evening. How much rainfall with the two storms in two days coming our way thursday and friday . Well, down here towards the south bay, san jose. 97 inch. Once you go past orrin da. San francisco totals from 1. 5 inches to possibly close to 3 inches in santa rosa. Its a story of the have and the have nots as this storm sits term rolls in river levels will be rising.
