ORANGE – Today, former Marine Judge Advocate
Pete Hardin released the following statement in the wake of major developments in the Grant Robicheaux and Casey Riley case. While the California Attorney General’s office recommended Robicheaux and Riley be charged with sexual assault and added allegations that the surgeon drugged their victim, Spitzer attempted to drop all charges against these alleged sexual predators. Orange County DA Todd Spitzer received $2,000 in 2018 from Riley’s attorney, Scott Borthwick, and recorded a $1,700 expenditure to Borthwick’s law firm in 2010.
“Sexual assault is a scourge on society. The District Attorney must listen to and protect survivors. Todd Spitzer failed that most basic duty, choosing instead to politicize this case and use the survivors as scapegoats. I commend the Attorney General for endeavoring to hold Grant Robicheaux and Cerissa Riley accountable in the void left by our current District Attorney.
