Ex-S.F. Official Gets Probation
Former San Francisco Chief Administrative Officer Roger Boas was sentenced today to three years’ probation, six months on a work detail and a $100,000 fine for pleading guilty to seven counts of statutory rape in a teen-age prostitution scandal.
The work detail, operated by the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, means Boas will spend no time behind bars. Boas, who was CAO for 10 years under Mayors George Moscone and Dianne Feinstein and who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 1987, traded his guilty plea for dismissal of 12 other counts of statutory rape. The 67-year-old automobile tycoon and 13 others were named in an 87-count indictment involving a brothel offering teen-age girls.
