Former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli took the witness stand Thursday in his own defense, denying allegations from seven women who claim he sexually assaulted them.
Fire officials believe the fire apparatus engineer ignited the Alexander Fire on Aug. 15, the Windsor River Road Fire on Sept. 8, the Geysers Fire on Sept. 12, and the Geyser and Kinley fires on Sept. 14.
The accusers say they're disappointed by last month's decision by Attorney General Rob Bonta to not file criminal charges against Foppoli due to lack of evidence in the case.
Former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli, who is accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, spoke from his home in Italy where he claimed the accusers were looking for an "easy payday" and it was all politically motivated.
