Why Is The Los Angeles Democratic Party Still Supporting This Candidate?
LAUSD School Board Candidate Graciela Ortiz and her campaign continue to minimize the trauma of a student sexually assaulted at gunpoint.
“Billy Valdivia eventually arranged to be alone in the vehicle with B.A., and sexually assaulted and battered her there.”
– Civil Filing, Case No.: 24NVVCV00084
“the plaintiff’s unfortunate occurrence, happened almost a year after my March 2020 campaign ended”
– Graciela Ortiz
There is no doubt that the former LAUSD student identifying herself as B.A. was sexually assaulted at gunpoint. Billy Valdivia was caught red-handed by the police in a sting operation while setting up an inappropriate meeting with the minor. He then pleaded nolo contendere to the “especially violent” assault and was found guilty of sexually molesting her. Because he used a gun “to intimidate and threaten the victim of the sexual battery”, he also was found guilty of a firearms violation.
