Sunnyvale Mayor Charged With Molesting Boy Under 14
Sunnyvale Mayor Brian O’Toole was charged Thursday with molesting a boy under the age of 14.
O’Toole, 34, allegedly molested the boy between September, 1983, and January, 1989, Santa Clara County Dist. Atty. Alan Nudelman said. “The acts underlaying the charges include fondling and oral copulation,” he said.
Owner of an insurance business, O’Toole was elected to the City Council in 1983. He served as mayor from 1985 to 1986 and was reelected mayor by the council last November for a two-year term.
“Mr. O’Toole will enter a plea of not guilty and we will vigorously litigate the matter,” his attorney, Kenneth Robinson, said after O’Toole posted $5,000 bail.
