The San Diego Democratic Party Chair Will Rodriguez-Kennedy announced Friday that he would go on leave of absence as the San Diego County District Attorney and Democratic Party amid assault allegations made on social media against him.
The District Attorney's office confirmed to 10News it is reviewing a case involving Rodriguez-Kennedy.Rodriguez-Kennedy issued the following statement to ABC 10News:
“The allegations against me are completely false and I will work vigorously to clear my name and prove my innocence but that takes time and in the meantime, our Party has critical work that must continue on. To balance the equity of providing a way for accusers to be heard while also balancing the rights of the accused to due process I have requested that the San Diego County Democratic Party’s Ethics Committee review the claim.
Rodriguez-Kennedy did not mention the type of allegations made against him in his statement. The announcement came after a Facebook post made on Thursday by Tasha Williamson, a Democratic activist. “Upon being made aware of the allegations through social media, our Ethics Committee members were informed of the issue so they could begin preparing for a due process for those involved,” Democratic Party spokesperson Eva Posner said in a statement.
