Sonoma Councilmember out on bail after molestation charge
Posted on October 28, 2020 by Sonoma Valley Sun
Sonoma City Councilmember David Cook was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, according to the Sonoma County Sherrif’s Office.
He was booked into county jail and posted $250,000 bail early Wednesday morning (10/28).
Officials said the case appears to be an isolated incident involving one victim, reported the San Francisco Chronicle., and deputies do not think Cook is a threat to public safety.
Cook has served two terms on the City Council. During an unsuccessful bid for County Supervisor, he did not enter the Nov. 3 race for a third term.
More details are expected as detectives continue to investigate the case.
