Marty . Thank you. He was a doctor from one of the worlds most highly esteemed medical schools. His patients were super star athletes and then he took his own life after becoming the target of a criminal probe. Kron4 first broke the story back in october after sources revealed that dr. Daniel did gars a, the team doctor for the 49ers and a prominent stanford researcher was under investigation for inappropriate behavior with adult interns. Yesterday morning we brought you the exclusive interviews with throw men who say they were abused by gaza nearly 20 years ago when they were High School Students and he was their teacher. Two of them reported the abuse to authorities and now kron4 Maureen Kelly tells us how the victims say their claims were brushed aside allowing him to avoid prosecution. Its a story youll see only on 4. I actually woke up with my shirt off and his hand in my genitals, on my genitals and him sort of rubbing himself. Reporter he was their trusted high school teacher, they thought they were helping him with a science project involving Young Athletes but it turned out not to be so he victimized them. Thats the claim coming from two men im calling peter and john in order to protect their identity. They say they were juniors at Cathedral High School and all boys Catholic School in el paso, texas when they were recruited by dr. Daniel gaza to participate in a research experiment. It happened while under his supervision during out of state trips. He suggested they inhale a drug as part of the testing, a potent anesthetic which when given in high enough concentration renders one completely unconscious. Peter agreed to inhale the vapor once he came out to find his teacher molesting him. I woke up in the middle of his experiment and he was just sort of fondling me and with himself, that was very traumatic for a young man. John did not agree to be gassed but says he woke up with the doctor trying to hold a wash rag covered with what he thinks was the drug to his face. He was able to fight him off but he still feels the sting of being betrayed by a man he thought was his mentor. I know what its like to have a kid look at me and just knowing that i have this kids every ounce of trust and knowing how precious of a thing that is for him to do what he did just doesnt even seem human, you know . Ive had kids look at me like im sure ive looked at him and he still found it okay to just absolutely abuse that trust. Peter and john told officials at their high school what gars a did. At first little was done about it. They asked me what i wanted. Im a junior in high school and they are wanting me to make the decision as far as how things were handled and that i was sort of swept under the rug and nothing came of it after that. The victims Say School Officials merely ordered gaza to stay away from them but someone leaked a story to the media and it made headlines in 1994. The newspaper article you see here does not name gars a. It states that Cathedral High School put the accused teacher on administrative leave after the incident made paper, gaza left cathedral. The students were shunned by their classmates for driving away a popular teacher. I felt like people looked at me like i had created this. Those in charge at cathedral high when the incident being took place have since died. The current administrators had no comment because both incidents happened across state lines the victims say the fbi was brought in. Peter and john both remember being interviewed by a federal agent but as far as they know the case wasnt pursued. The fbi says without any sort of proof he cant just say you caught him feeling you up and saw him feeling himself up and then extrapolate that he drugged. I bet you this will happen again if somebody digs into it further and they felt they couldnt at that point. We asked el paso, texas police and the fbi to search their records for gazas name but nothing turned up. A man claiming to be a former associate of his from that time says gaza was afraid peter and johns allegations would keep him from being admitted into stanford medical school. He not only got in, he stayed their his entire career eventually becoming a Popular Associate professor and researcher in sports medicine. You can see him here examining a College Athlete in this video posted on youtube. Peter and john werent surprised he was put in a position of being able to influence impressionable young minds nor surprised he was once again under criminal investigation. I knew it would happen again. The guy was too smart and believed he could get away with it. The question is how many times he got away with it over the last 20 years. Maureen kelly, kron4 news.

Ive spoken to my teammates or former teammates in other locker rooms across the nfl and asked you does this stuff go on, is this normal rookie hazing and the consensus was this is not normal. The investigative report says martin was tormented by three of the teams defensive linemen starting in his rookie season in 2012. On friday, martins agent reacted.

A few high clouds out there, but mild temperatures and then as we head into tuesday, were going to see an increase in cloud cover and a chance of showers starting off in the north bay.

We passed the showers and on to sunshine for today, tomorrow, increasing cloud cover tuesday as we see some showers pushing into the north bay tuesday night clearing by wednesday and it looks like its going to warm up, getting close to 70s by next weekend. Well, we are talking politics now and joining us to talk about that is a political analyst, michael, and michael, well start with news out of washington and thats a surprising debt ceiling vote. It wasnt too surprising. I dont think republicans had the stomach to go through another debacle that sent their polls spiraling downward. They are on top right now. They want to keep it that way. What you see between now and november is the republicans increasingly clearing the decks of things that could distract away from their message for the fall, which is all about the problems with obama care. And so in a way, is this seen as a blow to the tea party . Well you know, the question is, is the tea party all about Immediate Gratification or Long Term Strategy involved there . Theres some question about whether or not. I think in when people look at this in retrough spect, if the republicans do well in the midterms, you know, the issue will be, will more tea parties be elected as a result . That will be the real issue later on and if thats the case, if their primaries or moderate republicans get taken out by tea parties and win in the general, he has a bigger problem. Right now, this is all about trying to get republican majority, increase the republican majority in 2014 and to try and take the senate. Yeah, one thing about what is going on in washington, what you mentioned about clearing the decks of all these issues, thats where the immigration bill falls into place. John boehner floating an idea about Immigration Reform and then abruptly reverses course. Says in a very strange way, i dont trust the president to enforce the law. Does it seem like a reach . It is absolutely all about clearing the decks. Now thats a risky move in some ways. They are banking on the fact that people are not going to be wanting to get out in a midterm election, the excitement isnt there. Obama isnt on the campaign trail. The latina vote wont be a factor because of the absence of an Immigration Reform vote. The president late last week also came out and said that he believes in Immigration Reform bill will pass by 2017. Right. Before the end of his term. He is conceding the fact that he does not set the agenda in congress, but there is will to get it done. Theres no will to get it done in any way that impacts an election. Of course, if it were to go beyond 2015 and into toward the president ial election, that may complicate things as well. Sure. One thing that came up with this talking about immigration is that the rank in file g. O. P. Was saying that john boehner could lose his speakership if he chose to push Immigration Reform. Yeah, i think that is probably true in some ways. I mean, the threat would certainly be there. And again, this is all about just tamping down rebellion. Tamping down any controversy. Keeping their eye on the prize and that is to just keep every issue that could possibly inflame or divide the Republican Party off the table. Until the midterms. Lets talk about ron paul for a second. He has been in the headlines a lot lately and now he is bringing back the spectrum of monica lewinsky. If you want to be cynical, there are two ways to look at it. He, right now, believes hes in a twoperson competition with ted cruz in the u. S. Senate. And he was seeing that he was watching the debt ceiling debate coming up. He starts bringing up monica lewinsky. When you think about it, trying to tie Hillary Clinton to the whole monica lewinsky, bill clon ton, didnt work back in the late 90s. Didnt work in 2008. Isnt going to work in 2016. But it keeps him relevant and keeps him in the headlines and it feeds the red meat machine for the right wing that he and ted cruz are going to be fighting for. So this is a calculate ed ploy on his part. And whats really unfortunate is that the media jumped all over it and now they are doing retrough spect, where is monica now, and it was very cynical. It was designed to hurt hillary and designed to keep his name in the paper. But it has very little relevance to what is going to happen in the 2016 election. Did it work . In terms of getting him attention, absolutely. All right, coming up next hour, well be talking more about local politics, bringing it home to the bay area. Michael will be by at 9 15. In the meantime, well be right back. The power ball jackpot sitting at 400 million. This after lottery Officials Say there was no jackpot winner.

Then someone in the crowd yells and another person kicks the car. Then the deputy leaves the area because of safety reasons, as the crowd pelts the cruiser with bottles. And in this final youtube video, blowing stop signs and red lights. Often drive on the op opposite side of the road, except at one point in the video, well stop it right here. This is a shoe.

Theyre supposed to have the underpinning of the roadways is a steel box, and its not supposed to leak. Theres lots of water in there. This is something that the were concerned about early on in terms of the way it was being built. They talked to the contractoruct the issue of about the issue of sealing, and giving the problems with the bolts and the rods, you would think theyd want to test it out. Any change they made because theyve been having problems all along, but they didnt do that. I dont know how much it takes to take a hose and spray it and see if something leaks. If you do it on your kitchen sink, the first thing you do is do a test to see if its water tight. They should have done that. What about sacramento . Its going to be at the state legislature. I think theyre still trying to figure out what is the problem. After that theyd figure out, what is a solution . And hopefully its not 25 million. Its going to cost some money and that will come out of all of us who use the bridge. You mention the shortterm fix of the bolts. They still havent figured it out. I dont know whether its like the more you complicate the pluming the easier it is to stop the drain, but theres going to be a lot of oversight but infrachicagoture is important for the state.

They use it for other navy ships and theyre finding bits and pieces of it all over the place. Id be concerned from a health point of view for the people there. There are a lot of Homeless People there. How are we going to get them to move off the island. But thats not a good answer. You cant expose people to bad health. I think one of the problems with the navy is having a transient population, you never had people there more than 2 or 3 years so people couldnt determine whether or not there was longterm health hazards. If theyre finding these things, there needs to be better discussion. More health experts. If im a resident out there and you can see it from some of the reports, theyre scared and worried.
