now, this investigation with torres began about two weeks ago, when torres approached police to say he was being blackmailed by someone he had a relationship with. but as the investigation unfolded, police began gathering evidence. the relationship involved a minor and investigators began focusing on torres. now, a search warrant affidavit then outlined numerous graphic text messages discussing sex with a minor allegedly written by torres. today, mayor matt mahan said while torres is innocent until proven guilty, he has lost support at city hall and in the community. i believe, and my council colleagues believe that it's time for him to resign. painful. this is a painful episode for our city, for our council. we've all worked closely with omar torres over the last two years. it's these allegations, and more to the point, his words in that affidavit are deeply disturbing and morally reprehensible. all right. so we're hearing from the mayor today, robert. has torres responded to this call for him to resign? well, i talked with the torres attorney, nelson mcmurray, and he said that torres

the investigation turned toward torres when the alleged extortionist claimed a relationship with torres started when he was a minor. an affidavit revealed numerous graphic text messages, including messages. torres reportedly wrote talking about sex with a minor. today, mayor matt mahan said public officials have a higher standard to meet to effectively lead and called for torres to step down. he doesn't deny that he wrote the things that he wrote, and they are incredibly disturbing. i was sick to my stomach reading the affidavit. whatever the reason, and there's a there's a criminal proceeding and due process and an ongoing investigation that i really can't weigh in on. what i do know is that the community has lost faith. the police officer's union, which called for torres to resign the day the affidavit came out, also renewed their call for him to quit. i 100% agree with it. i think it's well past time to ask for his resignation immediately. he's not going to be able to effectively govern. he's no longer a city leader in san jose. district three deserves better. political analyst larry

in the memo, torres says his office will remain fully operational. his office also sent this newsletter out to neighbors today, assuring them torres team is still present in its mission to serve the district three community. it's unclear if the city council will approve torres request for a leave of absence in san jose. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. also in san jose, some tense moments in this neighborhood, but tonight it is back to normal after a police lockdown following a robbery. it all started this afternoon around 130 near quimby road and east capitol expressway. officers eventually arrested the suspects, who were seen running from a car. one neighbor says she couldn't get to her home for about 3.5 hours. i just tried to pull up and saw the cops outside, two blocks going in. couldn't go in. that's about it. you see police officers outside your house, you kind of get worried. it's pretty alarming. police aren't yet revealing the details about who or what business was the target of this robbery. mail stolen. but what happened to their ballot

torres also talked about sexual acts with a different 17 year old. his attorney has dismissed the exchanges, saying they were role play with a partner and torres maintains his innocence. ultimately, today, though, the majority of the council voted to excuse torres absence. mayor matt mahan explained his vote after consultation with the city attorney. i unfortunately don't feel that it's in the city's best interest to litigate whether or not he was sick on a single day two weeks ago as as a one off. but that being said, he needs to resign. we've called on him to resign. he's holding a seat hostage. all right, so we're hearing from the mayor today. what happens next? well, the mayor says that if torres continues to miss meetings, then the issue could be revisited. he added that he believes that voters should recall torres if he doesn't step down. and today, a business owner from torres district spoke to the council, joining the growing number of people calling for him to resign. well, i got up and spoke because somebody need we're all talking about it

torres has said he was out sick, but it happened just days after police announced torres was being criminally investigated over accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor. i think it's appalling. it's sickening and i will not stand for that. and i, along with my colleague, asked for his resignation. the accusations came to light when torres reported to police he was being extorted by a man he'd had a previous relationship with. investigators say they're now trying to determine if the extortionist was a minor. when the relationship started. according to text messages in court documents, torres also talked about sexual acts with a different 17 year old. torres attorney has previously dismissed the exchanges as role play between partners, and has said his client is innocent of all charges. today, a business owner from district three also addressed the council and joined the growing number of people calling for torres to resign. we're all talking about it in our district and somebody needs to say what we're all thinking. and the thing is that right now we need representation for district three

torres missed his second consecutive city council meeting today. mehan says they can't remove him from office right now, but they are taking away his responsibilities. i believe councilor torres is holding his seat hostage and denying representation to the 100,000 residents of district three. at today's san jose city council meeting, it was clear many want councilman omar torres to step down. the council taking action, voting to strip him from his committee assignments and assign them to other council members based on what he has said in his own words. that's reported out via the affidavit. i think he's lost the trust and respect of the community that he was elected to represent. torres once again, a no show at tonight's meeting, the second one in a row he's missed. two weeks ago, he said he was sick. but that meeting came just days after police announced torres was being criminally investigated over accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor. i think it's appalling. it's sickening and i will not stand for that. and i, along with my colleague, a
