Central Coast infrastructure bill passes House OKs $20 million for area transportation projects NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Twenty million dollars from the federal government got one step closer to being secured in direct funding for three local transportation projects. A small part of President Joe Biden’s sweeping infrastructure package, the Invest in America Act, passed the House Thursday with bipartisan support. The bill secures $11 million for the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments to fund the Highway 101 Multimodal Corridor Project, which will fund improvements between Santa Barbara and Montecito and enhancements to adjacent local streets, including the Cabrillo Boulevard Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project. The rest of the funding will be split between two projects in San Luis Obispo County — $5 million for the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority to purchase 11 battery-electric buses to replace dieselpowered buses and $4 million for the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments to build a nonmotorized multi-use path along State Route 1, connecting the

County investigating allegations of sexual assault at Cate School By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office are investigating reports of alleged sexual abuse and misconduct by a former Cate School employee. The investigation began April 1 after mandated reporters, outside of the Carpinteria school, spoke on behalf of multiple sexual assault survivors. The complaints allege the abuse occurred while the suspect was employed at the private boarding and day school and took place on Cate School property. Several survivors are current and former students of the school. The name of the suspect is withheld by investigators to guard the case’s integrity. Sheriff’s detectives and investigators from the district attorney’s office served search warrants June 24 at the Cate School campus, located at 1960 Cate Mesa Road in Carpinteria. The Cate School and its legal representatives are working with detectives to locate additional survivors and

witnesses. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Sgt. Mark Valencia at 805-681-4150. “We have many resources available regardless of your decision to participate in a criminal investigation,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a news release. “Sheriff’s detectives coordinate closely with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, VictimWitness Program to ensure the needs of survivors are not overshadowed by the focus on the investigation and prosecution of the accused.” Survivors may also contact the Victim-Witness Assistance Program at 805-568-2400 or tollfree at 855-840-3232. The Sheriff’s Office partners with Standing Together to End Sexual Assault, which provides a confidential 24-hour hotline, legal and medical advocacy, accompaniment and counseling. STESA advocates are available at 805-564-3696. Cate School couldn’t be reached for comment despite the News-Press’ attempt for an interview or statement. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com

Travelers experienced a traffic jam heading southbound on Highway 101 Thursday morning as a result of roadway construction. While more traffic is expected over the Fourth of July weekend, it will be as a result of more travelers on the roads, not construction. Caltrans will pause all construction projects heading into the holiday.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

In addition to the fireworks and fanfare, Fourth of July travelers in Southern California can expect some traffic this weekend as projections for holiday travel nears pre-pandemic levels. AAA is expecting 3.3 million Southern Californians to travel this Fourth of July weekend, 86% of whom are expected to travel by car. Nationwide, AAA expects 47.7 million people to travel for the holiday, a number that is up nearly 40% from last year and only lags Fourth of July travel in 2019 by 2.5%. According to Jeffrey Spring, a spokesperson for AAA of Southern California, travelers around Santa Barbara can expect to hit traffic on Highway 101 between now and Monday, particularly in the areas between Montecito and Santa Barbara. “You might want to plan an alternate route because your main route might be really really busy,” Mr. Spring told the News-Press Thursday. “We would recommend

looking at a map on your phone or even a paper map to see what alternate routes there may be. Just do some advanced planning in these travel times because people are just wanting to get out and go places, so, many places will be crowded.” Air travel will also be on the uptick during the holiday weekend, with 3.52 million Americans expected to travel by plane between now and Monday. That’s an increase of 163% from 2020, but is still down about 10% from 2019. The estimated influx of air travelers will have implications at the Santa Barbara Airport, where officials are anticipating an extremely busy weekend. Angi Daus, the marketing coordinator for the Santa Barbara Airport, told the News-Press that the airport has been back up to pre-pandemic levels for a few weeks now. In recent weeks, the airport has not dipped below 1,500 passengers per day, Ms. Daus said. That total even increased this week, with the airport serving more than 1,600

passengers a day leading up to the Fourth of July weekend. “We haven’t passed our record number in a single day yet, but we are way back up to our normal levels for sure,” Ms. Daus said. “We are flying just as many (passengers), if not more, on less flights. We’re not back up to the same number of daily flights, but we’re serving people at the same level as before (the pandemic).” Now that more passengers are flying in and out of the Santa Barbara Airport, Ms. Daus said the airport recommends that travelers arrive 90 minutes to two hours early for flights. She also suggested passengers either carpool to the airport or park in the economy lot due to the limited spaces available in the airport’s main lot. For those on road trips over the holiday weekend, Mr. Spring said travelers should prioritize safe driving by getting plenty of rest before a long drive. And, Mr. Spring reminded motorists, don’t text while you Please see TRAVEL on A10

Locals react to Cosby’s release By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In light of Bill Cosby’s release from prison Wednesday, locals are sounding the alarm for a glitch in the law. Some are placing blame on the prosecutors while others blame the criminal justice system as a whole. In an unexpected reversal in Pennsylvania’s highest court, the former comedian and TV actor’s sexual assault conviction was thrown out — “on a procedural issue that is irrelevant to the facts of the crime,” according to District Attorney Kevin Steele, who decided to arrest the celebrity. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that the prosecutor who brought the case, Mr. Steele, was bound by an agreement by his predecessor not to charge Mr. Cosby, even though there is no evidence that the promise was ever put in writing, according to The Associated Press. The 83-year-old celebrity served nearly three years of his three- to 10-year sentence. He was convicted for an incident in 2004, when he drugged and violated Andrea Constand, the Temple University sports administrator. While Mr. Cosby was only charged and convicted for that singular assault, five other individuals testified in court that they, too, were victims of his sexual assault. Mr. Cosby tweeted a photo of himself on Wednesday with a caption thanking the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for “upholding the rules of law,” writing, “I have never changed my stance nor my story. I have always maintained my innocence. Thank you to all my fans, supporters and friends who stood by me through this ordeal.” The Bill Cosby trial was the first one involving a celebrity in the #MeToo era in 2015, when the first district attorney filed charges mere days before the deadline for the 12-year statute Please see COSBY on A10

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS

“If you don’t do it correctly, even if you have all the emotion and all the passion and all the rights on your side, things like this can happen,” Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley said of Bill Cosby’s release from prison.

SB police shares Fourth of July reminders

Newsom recall election set for Sept. 14 By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The state announced Thursday that the recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom is set for Sept. 14. In just over 10 weeks, California voters will determine whether Gov. Newsom will retain his position of power or be ousted. Already, there are a number of contenders — most

of whom are Republicans — campaigning to replace the governor. The election comes after months of petitioning on the part of recall proponents, who garnered more than 1.5 million signatures in April to trigger a recall election. That effort was sealed after election officials certified enough valid signatures to maintain the election in recent weeks.

Candidates interested in running for election must declare candidacy 59 days before the vote, which is roughly two weeks away. Among those who already announced their candidacy include businessman John Cox, former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner and Kevin Faulconer, the former San Diego mayor. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara Police Department would like to remind the public of the following for the Fourth of July weekend. NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

The recall election targeted at Gov. Gavin Newsom is set for Sept. 14.

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER LPNF extends firearms order LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST — Discharging a firearm in Los Padres National Forest will remain illegal through Jan. 1.

Forest Supervisor Kevin Elliot extended the prohibition Wednesday. The law has few exceptions. The discharge of firearms is permitted at Winchester Canyon Gun Club and Ojai Valley Gun Club. Federal, state and local officers

are allowed to fire their weapons as well as members of “an organized rescue or fire fighting force in the performance of an official duty.” People may fire their guns at legal game birds only during the open-hunting season and with a valid California hunting license.

The law is intended to prevent wildfires sparked by “firearms or discharged projectiles” in continuing high fire danger conditions, according to the Los Padres National Forest Twitter account. — Annelise Hanshaw

Lompoc ends electric rate reduction LOMPOC — Revised electric utility rates went into effect in Lompoc Thursday, ending a nine-year span of utility rate reductions across the city. Electric rates are returning to 2011 rate levels this month, eliminating the 3% temporary

rate reduction that went into effect in 2012. The city held on to these rate reductions for a number of years, but ultimately ended the temporary measure due to increases in energy costs and increased operating pressures,

according to a news release. The city will continue to offer programs to assist customers with paying past-due utility bills. COVID-19 utility grant assistance is available for those who qualify, and it’s funded by Lompoc’s Community Development Block

Grant Program. For more information, visit cityoflompoc.com. For questions about billing, call 805-875-8250 or 805-8758523. — Madison Hirneisen

FIREWORKS HOTLINE A fireworks hotline is available at 805-897-2626 to report the illegal use of fireworks. Complaints can remain anonymous, but police request as much specific information about the location as possible. Personal fireworks are illegal in Santa Barbara. Residents may view professional displays but not ignite their own fireworks. Those possessing or using personal fireworks are subject to misdemeanor charges. Fireworks during the current drought are easily able to create a brush fire. For emergencies, call 9-1-1. PATROLLING POLICE SBPD is prepared for an influx of people this weekend and is assigning additional officers to patrol. There will be foot-patrol officers along the State Street Promenade and waterfront area Sunday, and additional traffic patrols begin today. They will monitor for DUI violations. STREET CLOSURES Police expect significant traffic delays beginning at 6 p.m.

Sunday in anticipation of the city’s fireworks show. Santa Barbara police will close beachfront access points to vehicular traffic. Stearns Wharf will be closed to incoming vehicles beginning at 3:30 p.m., and vehicles will not be able to exit the wharf starting at 4:30 p.m. There will be limited vehicular access to the Funk Zone and Natoma Avenue neighborhoods. Road closures will end around one hour after the professional fireworks show concludes. At 6 p.m., Cabrillo Boulevard will be closed from Calle Cesar Chavez to Harbor Way. After 6 p.m., any traffic exiting Highway 101 at Garden Street will be diverted northward, away from the beachfront area. PETS Pets are not allowed to attend the fireworks display and should be properly secured at home. Santa Barbara City Animal Control gets more missing-pet calls during the Fourth than any other date. Animals outside are liable to escape during times of stressful noise. Pet owners should provide a safe place and ensure doors and windows are secure, advises Animal Control. To report a missing pet, call Animal Control at 805-963-1513 or Santa Barbara County Animal Services at 805-681-5285. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

County reports nine COVID-19 cases role distributing vaccines. As of Wednesday, 111,841 vaccine doses were administered at various Cottage Clinics, according to a news release. Throughout this month, Cottage will operate its COVID-19 Community Vaccine Clinic on Thursdays through July 29. The walk-in, drive-up clinic is held at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital in Goleta, where the first and second shots of the Pfizer vaccine are offered. (The exact site is Hollipat Center Drive parking lot.)

To complete the full vaccination series by the end of July, patients will need to receive their first dose of the vaccine by next Thursday. If patients only receive one shot at the clinic, they can get their second dose from another provider, following the three-week interval between doses. No appointment is needed, but to schedule in advance, visit cottagehealth.org/myvaccine. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com © 2021 Ashleigh Brilliant, 117 W.

to greenhouse gas emissions. It is crucial that we make smart investments that revitalize our economy and modernize our transportation systems so this sector is part of the climate solution, not part of the problem,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “This bill kills two birds with one stone by putting people to work bringing our roads, bridges, buses, trains and water infrastructure into the 21st century. That means

good-paying jobs, clean air and water, and better transportation options for Central Coast residents.” Marjie Kirn, the executive director of SBCAG, applauded the congressman for “solving the persistent backlog of transportation infrastructure and public transit options for communities like Santa Barbara County.” She said in a statement: “Carbajal’s aggressive advocacy

is just what we need to deliver Central Coast priorities like funding for the U.S. 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project, protecting transit partners’ access to resources and recognizing the seriousness of strong Federal partnerships to build a climate resilient future.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Physicians discuss vaccine link to rare heart condition By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

A CDC safety group recently determined that there was a “likely association” between rare instances of heart inflammation and the COVID-19 vaccine after more than a thousand adults developed symptoms after getting their second shot. As of June 23, about 1,200 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in the U.S. were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The condition mainly occurred among male adults 16 and older who received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, and most commonly occurred after the second dose. According to the CDC, many of the people who received care for this condition quickly recovered and resumed normal activities. On a backdrop of more than 300 million COVID-19 shots administered in the U.S., the condition remains extremely rare, occurring in about 12.6 doses per million. With such a low risk of developing the condition, local and federal health officials are still urging those eligible to get their shot in the arm. “This particular side effect is very, very rare,” Dr. Bina Ahmed, a cardiologist with Cottage Health and member of the Santa Barbara Cardiovascular Medical Group, told the News-Press. “If you do get diagnosed with COVID-19 itself, the outcomes can be much worse, and so this should not be a deterrent to people being vaccinated.” “This is something that’s being monitored,” she continued. “And I think as we get more data, we’ll have a better understanding of it. And so, the messaging should be

COURTESY PHOTOS

At left, Dr. Bina Ahmed, a cardiologist with Cottage Health and a member of the Santa Barbara Cardiovascular Medical Group, said instances of the inflammatory heart condition associated with the COVID-19 vaccine are very rare. She still recommends those eligible get the vaccine. At right, “When we’re thinking about the COVID vaccines, it’s important that we also realize the significant risk that COVID poses to each one of us and our loved ones,” Dr. David Fisk, an infectious disease specialist with Sansum Clinic and Cottage Health, told the News-Press.

loud and clear that all people who are eligible should get vaccinated.” At Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, Dr. Ahmed said she has not treated anyone for the rare condition, but she knows of colleagues at the hospital who have. She said many of the locals who have come to Cottage Hospital with this condition presented with heart attack symptoms, but

were treated for myocarditis once hypertension was ruled out. “From a cardiovascular standpoint, we’re seeing that all of these patients who presented to the hospital were treated with supportive care, and all of them had good outcomes,” Dr. Ahmed said. “And so I think the important thing to note, I think, (the message) for people who are worried about

this is that if you do develop symptoms, do seek care. And we’re not seeing any signals that the outcomes are bad for patients who are diagnosed with myocarditis after vaccination.” Dr. David Fisk, an infectious disease specialist at Sansum Clinic and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, said the development of rare side effects is typical with any

new medication or vaccine on the market. While most drug and vaccine side effects are mild, Dr. Fisk said even the rare side effects must be weighed against the risks associated with the disease. “Any time a medical product comes to market at any time, you have to judge the risk of the product with the risk of the

disorder they’re trying to combat,” Dr. Fisk told the News-Press. “So we don’t really look at only the risk of the item that we’re deploying. Whether it be a heart procedure, an abdominal surgery, an orthopedic surgery, a skin topical treatment or a vaccine, you always have to judge (the treatment) in comparison with the risk of what it’s trying to treat.” When someone is infected with COVID-19, they face the risk of developing serious complications from the illness that could ultimately lead to death, Dr. Fisk added. These complications include those associated with “Long COVID” illness, which include side effects like fatigue, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal symptoms, anxiety and depression. “When we’re thinking about the COVID vaccines, it’s important that we also realize the significant risk that COVID poses to each one of us and our loved ones,” Dr. Fisk said. He added, “The way I look at it, comparing the risk of COVID and the risk of the COVID vaccine — it’s a no-brainer decision from my perspective to recommend this vaccine highly because it’s preventing such a devastating and such a common illness, and an illness that, as the Delta variant arrives in Santa Barbara and starts to gain a foothold, is going to become much more common here.” Ultimately, Dr. Fisk said the COVID-19 vaccines are “exceptionally safe” despite the rare side effects and have been proven to be even safer than the typical vaccines given in childhood, including the HPV and measles vaccines.

avannah Hoover didn’t realize she was airborne. At least not to this extent. The Junior Spirit of Fiesta impressed the Stow House audience when she leaped during her recent Fiesta Ranchera performance in Goleta. She landed without missing a beat and kept smiling, kept dancing. No wonder she’s called the Junior Spirit. “I didn’t know that I jumped that high,” said Savannah, 9, who, on the day after Fiesta Ranchera, saw News-Press photographer Kenneth Song’s picture of her in action Savannah likes all that action and the freedom to express herself as she realizes her dream of being the Junior Spirit and getting to perform in front of the Santa Barbara Mission. That’s where

she and her mother, Kelly Hoover, talked to the News-Press this week in anticipation of Old Spanish Days, aka Fiesta, set for Aug. 4-8 in various Santa Barbara locations. “I feel so lucky that I’m able to dance in such a beautiful place,” Savannah said, sitting on a bench with the mission behind her. “I feel it’s such a beautiful stage. You get to dance in front of all these people, which is amazing. I can’t believe I’m able to do it. And Savannah is happy to be the Junior Spirit at a time when the Fiesta is looking more like a traditional one after last year’s celebration, which was modified because of COVID-19 restrictions. With the state’s recent reopening, Fiesta is resuming its mercados and the big shows — Fiesta Pequeña at the Santa Barbara Mission and Noches de Ronda and Tardes de Ronda at the Santa Barbara County Sunken

Gardens. “The Spirit Savannah, a is amazing,” Santa Barbara Savannah said. Old Spanish Days, aka Fiesta, resident who “She’s really will take place Aug. 4-8. For more will be a fourthkind and such a grader this fall beautiful dancer. information, go to www.sbfiesta.org. at Hollister I feel like I’m her Elementary little sister. We School in Goleta, has already make presents and give them to performed. In addition to shows each other.” at various locations in a single Savannah said she’s been night at Fiesta Ranchera, she and to every Fiesta since she was Spirit of Fiesta Ysabella Yturralde about 2 and was impressed with danced during La Primavera at the the flamenco dancing. She felt Carriage & Western Art Museum inspired to learn the dance style in Santa Barbara. and has been studying since she “What I love about being the was 3 at the Zermeno Dance Junior Spirit is I’ve already Academy in Goleta. been to so many new places, and “What I like about dancing is you I’ve met so many new people,” can really express your emotions Savannah said. “I feel so lucky to through it,” Savannah said. “If it’s be representing Old Spanish Days. strong music, you can really feel I feel very honored.” that and have a little more serious Savannah said she and Ysabella face. Then if it’s a little playful, you are close and go to each other’s can smile.” homes to do each other’s hair. Like Ysabella, Savannah

found ballet too slow for her. She preferred the faster dynamics of flamenco. Savannah said her friends have been supportive of her work as a dancer and Junior Spirit. When they attend her shows, they give her flowers afterward. As Savannah talked, her proud mother listened. “Savannah just always has had a spark,” she said. “Of course, I see her through my mommy’s goggles. “She expresses kindness and joy. She loses herself in the moment and is able to express her love for dance,” Mrs. Hoover said. “I think that’s what makes her a beautiful dancer.” Others in the family share Mrs. Hoover’s pride of Savannah. Her father, Tim Hoover, is creative director at Yardi Systems (a real estate software company), and Savannah, the youngest, has three brothers: Chase, 17; Luke, 16;

and Grant, 13. Mrs. Hoover is the community relations manager for the city of Goleta. Savannah appreciates the fact that she has fans in her family. “I feel very lucky to have older brothers who are supportive of me.” Savannah said. “They’re always there. After my show, I go and hug them.” When Savannah isn’t dancing (and leaping in the air), she plays soccer, basketball and tennis. She’s been a right forward and striker for the Santa Barbara Soccer Club. At age 9, Savannah already has a career in sight. “I’ve always loved animals,” said Savannah, whose family has Sandy, a golden retriever, and Sugar, a chinchilla Persian. “What I really want to do when I get older is be an animal rescuer.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Some people have a tendency to be shy. They almost apologize for being alive. For them, it’s essential to keep a low profile. You probably think that you’re like this, but you’re mistaken, Aries. You need a bit of reassurance. There are a lot of interesting things inside you that need to come out. Believe in yourself. TAURUS — You’re a real master of seduction, Taurus. For quite some time, you’ve been able to draw a number of people to you. It seems that no one can resist your charms. But today you will start thinking about this process of seduction. Even if you appreciate luxury, you should be careful and stay vigilant. GEMINI — You’re a real charmer. None of your friends can resist you, Gemini. Today you should try to put the finishing touches to your personality. Indeed, you will be able to benefit from the planetary alignment as you interact with others. You will look for a little more authenticity in your personal and professional relations. CANCER — The day will be calm and quiet, Cancer. You feel strongly about finishing whatever you undertake. You probably have the opportunity to add the final changes to some projects you’ve been working on. This reorganization will give you some spare time, which will probably enable you to meet some very interesting people. LEO — You’re very tolerant toward a particular person in your entourage, which is probably due to your generous nature, Leo. You think everyone should have his or her own experiences and setbacks. After all, we learn from our mistakes. Sometimes you aren’t very humble, but your friends are lucky to have someone they can count on. VIRGO — Today you may have a difference of opinion with a relative. You will try to resolve this problem. You will be irritated by this present situation, and almost feel that your relationship has been altered for good. There is probably just a lack of communication between you. Monday, November 16, 2015 You have to try to work things

out together. LIBRA — You’re an emotional person, Libra. You can easily be destabilized by something you read in the news or see on television. Why are you saddened or hurt by the problems of the world? If you’ve felt some violence surrounding you lately, you will be happy to know that you can heal your wounds today. SCORPIO — The time has come to focus on your personal life, Scorpio. Your life has certainly had its moments. During the past few months, it has been especially full of new and deep emotions. If you’re persistent about keeping your determined frame of mind and course of action, you will attain the goals you’ve set for yourself. SAGITTARIUS — Even though you should watch your finances, you have a tendency to spend a lot of money, Sagittarius. Happily, you have the opportunity to make a lot of profit. Your investments are solid, and you will soon benefit from them. Don’t spend your newfound wealth on frivolous things. You will fulfill your objectives if you’re vigilant. CAPRICORN — You often neglect your health and body. Your equilibrium suffers from this, Capricorn. The time has come to consider a medical checkup just to be on the safe side. You love to discover new things. Your thirst for knowledge incites you to expend a lot of energy. Try to find the time to rest and relax. Avoid all unnecessary effort. AQUARIUS — Today you will tend to analyze your life. You will think about your lifestyle and the food you eat. Are you eating foods that are good for your body? Are you exercising enough? The stars will help you focus on your health. Health-promoting activities are recommended today, Aquarius. Try to relax and find a sport you enjoy. PISCES — The next few weeks will be full of changes in your personal life, Pisces. Your relationships will evolve. You have convivial relations with your friends, but you need to keep an eye on your strong personality and let others express themselves. Try to stay vigilant. You can’t impose your views on other people all the time.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Defendants have a Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination. “District attorney No. 1 heard the facts of this case and felt that he could not prosecute the case for whatever reason,” Joyce Dudley, the Santa Barbara County district attorney, told the News-Press Thursday. “Either it was beyond the statute of limitations, he didn’t think the evidence was strong enough or some legal theory.” Ms. Dudley explained that as district attorneys, “We speak as one voice,” meaning that when one makes a promise, it carries over to another. Without knowing if district attorney No. 2 was aware of the promise or if the same testimonies were given, Ms. Dudley said she couldn’t point fingers and say who was wrong. However, she did point out another case that occurred in Santa Barbara that — in the same nature — overturned the facts and evidence of the case because of a “glitch in the law.” She referenced a February 2009 case, where a man allegedly broke into a home on Haley Street. A couple was staying in the home, and the boyfriend was sleeping on the couch in the living room while the girlfriend was asleep in her bed. The man allegedly sneaked into the girlfriend’s bedroom and initiated sex with her. The girlfriend said she thought it was her boyfriend, so initially consented to the advances, but when she woke up and realized it was not, she screamed and resisted. The state law that would have

Ms. Dudley said her hands were tied, and she couldn’t charge the man for rape “even though this woman was absolutely raped.” She even found several other cases where the same man broke into other women’s homes. “So I brought her into the office and told her, ‘Look, there’s no question in my mind you were raped, but there is this weirdness in the law — because he wasn’t your husband, it wasn’t rape by fraud,’ ” Ms. Dudley said. “She looked at me like I was the meanest person in the world and stormed out of my office.” This motivated Santa Barbara County’s district attorney to lobby to change the law, and after a three-year effort, succeeded. She said this example is relevant because, “What happened was exactly what happened in terms of Cosby. If you don’t do it correctly, even if you have all the emotion and all the passion and all the

coordinator said it’s important to realize this is a high-profile case that people have access to online and on TV, that “survivors are watching.” “They’re watching how highprofile survivors are being treated, and if they’re being treated with respect and dignity, then a survivor at home will feel empowered at home and choose to go to law enforcement,” Ms. Orozco said. “If they’re treated with disrespect or not believed, they will feel more reluctant to share their stories …” She explained that the nonprofit’s focus for victims is to simply provide them as much information and support as possible, and allow them to make their own decision on how to heal from it. Staff avoids pressuring anyone into coming forward. “We need to be aware that Bill Cosby was released under a technicality,” Ms. Orozco said. “The criminal justice system, we’ve seen it fail survivors time and time again. That’s one of the reasons we need to expand those other options in case they don’t want to go the legal route.” Ms. Constand, the victim in the 2004 incident, and her team posted a statement on Twitter as well following the ruling, saying, “Today’s majority decision regarding Bill Cosby is not only disappointing but of concern in that it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault in the criminal justice system from reporting or participating in the prosecution of the assailant or may force a victim to choose between filing either a criminal or civil action.”

rights on your side, things like this can happen.” And when things like this happen, Ms. Dudley said, not much can likely be done because re-trying it would probably result in double jeopardy. However, she added that her gut is telling her that “both prosecutors really cared about the victims and wanted to make it better.” “It’s not throwing up our hands and saying, ‘See, here’s another example of another victim not being listened to and being believed.’ It sounds to me like they just wanted to make it better,” she said. “The fact is that we did take a powerful man down, and the fact is that he was in prison for two years. He’s in his 80s, and there was some punishment. Was it enough? No. It was completely not enough, but it was something, and it was a guilty verdict.” However, according to national media reports, advocacy groups for sex-crime victims are still expressing concerns that fewer victims will step forward and choose the legal route to hold perpetrators accountable. The community education coordinator for Standing Together to End Sexual Assault — a Santa Barbara nonprofit that provides confidential counseling and support services to survivors of sexual assault and their loved ones — said the entire staff was disappointed with Wednesday’s ruling. “Then we automatically started thinking about prevention,” Bianca Orozco told the NewsPress Thursday. “What his release demonstrates is that there needs to be a transformation in the criminal justice system.” The community education
