    "Key allies abandon owner of Manny's in SF after sexual assault accusation

    A prominent San Francisco activist and Mission District cafe owner is facing sexual assault allegations that have quickly eroded support for his campaign for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

    Manny Yekutiel, who owns the popular cafe and events venue named after himself on 16th Street in San Francisco, is accused of aggressively groping a local activist during a party at a home in 2020, the San Francisco Standard first reported. Brad Joseph Chapin, a nonprofit worker and former Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club board member, came forward with the allegations against Yekutiel and filed a police report in April.

    In an interview with SFGATE, Chapin said he was at a party at a home in February 2020 when Yekutiel allegedly assaulted him. He also detailed the allegations in the police report filed in April and viewed by SFGATE on Monday.

    Chapin told SFGATE that when he first saw Yekutiel sitting alone at the party, he didn’t immediately recognize him because Yekutiel looked like he 'hadn’t slept in several days.' Chapin said Yekutiel then approached him and allegedly stuck his hand down Chapin’s pants, 'forcibly' grabbing Chapin’s genitalia, causing intense pain and squeezing harder as Chapin tried to escape.

    'Every time I tried to get away, he yanked and pulled and it was horrible,' Chapin told SFGATE. He said he only knew Yekutiel through mutual friends and was startled and frightened by the alleged assault, which he described as 'violent.'

    In a Monday Instagram video statement, Yekutiel denied the allegations, saying he was accused of 'pretty terrible things.'

    (. . .)

    'What is being described did not happen. When he reached out to me, I told him directly that it didn’t happen. He filed a police report, the police investigated and took no further action,' Yekutiel’s statement read. 'They said they didn’t even need to interview me. His account has changed more than once since. And now, after more than six years, he’s raising it publicly for the first time, just as I’ve entered this race. There’s nothing here. I did not do this.'"

    THIS!

    #AOC took down a #democrat #establishment titan, while working as a bartender

  23. AMERICANS

    we have 999 days left of a pedophile rapist narcissist racist with dementia in the White House because 1/3 of the country is bigots and ignorants and 1/3 of the country is too entitled to #vote

    tickcounter.com/countdown/6119

    what are we going to do?

    we are going to fucking show up in the #primaries

    pick real left #candidates

    then in november you vote against #MAGA no matter who wins the primaries

    "not good enough i want perfect waah"

    shut the fuck up and vote to freeze #Trump's agenda

  24. @spreadthetruth @retech

    that americans complain about their #candidates, but don't fucking show up and vote in the #primaries, is nothing but a massive indictment of average americans

    you need to fucking show up in the fucking primaries people!

    that is where you get real #left candidates

    if you don't do NOT fucking complain about the candidates in the general #election!

    YOU failed to show up in the primaries so that is on YOU

  25. @retech

    yup, the #USA is going the way of #Russia as well

    IF WE DON'T FUCKING #VOTE

    VOTE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

    especially in the #primaries

    get some real #left #candidates

    if you don't vote, shut the fuck up about our problems, you've abdicated your right to speak, since your true voice, your vote, you decided isn't perfect enough

    nobody rational thinks that way

    accounts shitting on the vote are either a #rightWing #psyop cosplaying left to suppress the left vote, or just a fucking idiot
