Orange County Dist. Atty Todd Spitzer accused his predecessor Tony Rackauckas of botching the case and making accusations that could not be proved.
When the case broke in 2018, it immediately became fodder for tabloid headlines around the world.
“Certainly, any prosecutor should think long and hard before dismissing such a case where multiple women have independently come forward and subjected themselves to the hard process of baring their souls to the authorities,” Rackauckas said. “I just hope they’re not being sold down the river for some twisted political motive.”Robicheaux was charged with sexually assaulting seven women and Riley five.
Over the course of three months, prosecutors reviewed thousands of photographs and videos from computers, hundreds of hours of audio recordings, thousands of pages of documents and tens of thousands of text messages between Robicheaux and Riley spanning a four-year period, Spitzer said. Late last year, Spitzer asked the California attorney general’s office to consider taking over the case because of a perceived conflict of interest, but state prosecutors declined.
