A sex tape allegation is now part of the scandal involving Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli. A lawyer for Councilwoman Esther Lemus has sent a cease and desist letter to Foppoli’s attorney, warning against leaking a sex tape involving Lemus that may or may not exist. Lemus has stated she suspects Foppoli slipped drugs into her drinks, leading to sexual assaults on two occasions last year. She says the second assault involving an unnamed friend of Foppoli may have been videotaped to convince her to not reveal the incidents. Lemus made her accusations after five other women accused Foppoli of assaults over a nearly 20 year period.
Dominic Foppoli's brother, Joe, joined the Windsor town council, Sonoma County board of supervisors, and two North Bay congressmen who are calling him to step down from public office.
