The piece points out the polarized nature of these reports, the political affiliations involved, and questions the certainty about what truly happened in the 2020 incident.<\/p>\n<p>the article illustrates how allegations and their media coverage can vary substantially based on political context and sources.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>History has shown that neither major political party has a monopoly on lechery.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Democrats have had a pretty good run at it lately.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday \u2014 the same day that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/07\/06\/graham-platner-sexual-assault-allegation-00987737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rape allegations<\/a> rocked Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner\u2019s campaign \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/manny-yekutiel-supervisor-assault-allegations-22331044.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> published the results of its investigation into an alleged 2020 sexual assault in which San Francisco cafe owner and Board of Supervisors candidate Manny Yekutiel allegedly grabbed, fondled, and used his finger to try to penetrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lego-company-kids-ends-pride-month-using-toys-recreate-lgbt-fantasy-instagram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LGBT<\/a> activist Brad Chapin.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the San Francisco Chronicle first contacted Chapin in March. After several interviews, the outlet tried to independently verify some of Chapin\u2019s details, but it failed in its attempt to contact witnesses who attended the 2020 party at which the alleged assault occurred.<\/p>\n<p>On June 30, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/sfstandard.com\/2026\/06\/30\/sf-political-activist-accuses-supervisor-candidate-manny-yekutiel-2020-sexual-assault\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The San Francisco Standard<\/a> published its own account of Chapin\u2019s allegations and their political ramifications.<\/p>\n<p>According to the outlet, Chapin filed a police report in April. In that report, Chapin claimed that Yekutiel attacked him on Feb. 21, 2020, in the bedroom of a home in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District, where Chapin had wandered in search of friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe grabbed me, and I was trying to get away. He wouldn\u2019t let me go,\u201d Chapin recalled. \u201cHe stuck one of his hands down my pants and grabbed me and was squeezing me and intentionally causing pain. It was bizarre. He literally had me by the testicles. It was intentionally sexually demeaning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in a contemporaneous text message, Chapin told a friend that \u201cManny just sexually assaulted me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a statement to The San Francisco Standard, Yekutiel denied Chapin\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese allegations are false. What is being described did not happen,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he reached out to me, I told him directly that it didn\u2019t happen. He filed a police report, the police investigated, and took no further action. They said they didn\u2019t even need to interview me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, those allegations could have serious consequences. After all, with past connections to the likes of former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/obama-presidential-library-betrays-black-visitors-issues-wildly-racist-demand-website-least-told-racist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barack Obama<\/a> and former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-privately-consulting-zohran-mamdani-radical-leftists-maneuvers-2028-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a>, and as an ally of Daniel Lurie, the city\u2019s Democrat mayor, Yekutiel qualifies as \u201ca fixture of San Francisco politics,\u201d per The San Francisco Standard.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Chapin, through an LGBT organization, has political connections to Yekutiel\u2019s main electoral opponent.<\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Chronicle chose to publish its investigation on Monday because The San Francisco Standard\u2019s report had already put Chapin\u2019s allegations at the center of San Francisco\u2019s supervisorial race.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, the San Francisco Chronicle\u2019s report had a different tone.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, according to The San Francisco Standard, after filing the police report in April, Chapin met Yekutiel at a local park, hoping to \u201cfind some way to forgive him and move past the incident,\u201d the accuser said.<\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Chronicle, however, described that park meeting as the result of a \u201cpretext call\u201d set up by a police investigator. When meeting with Yekutiel, Chapin wore a police-issued recording device.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, based on a June 9  to Chapin from said police investigator, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the investigator characterized the case as \u201copen\u201d but \u201cinactive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-agents-plotted-to-attack-jews-in-sweden-report\/\" title=\"Iranian agents planned to attack Jews in Sweden, according to a report\">authorities lacked sufficient evidence<\/a> to charge Yekutiel with sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the San Francisco Chronicle published quotes in which Yekutiel sounded sympathetic to Chapin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to attack or hurt anyone,\u201d Yekutiel told the outlet. \u201cI take this issue super seriously, but also I think in instances like this, especially with what\u2019s being accused, I have to be completely clear that what is being described never went on and never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The supervisor candidate added that \u201canyone who comes forward deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I won\u2019t disparage Brad or question his character. But I know what\u2019s true for me. And I understand the ugly reality of political campaigns today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the San Francisco Chronicle published friendly sounding social media exchanges between Yekutiel and Chapin that occurred after the alleged assault.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the San Francisco Chronicle noted apparent inconsistencies in Chapin\u2019s claim that Yekutiel tried to insert a finger into the alleged victim\u2019s anus.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it seems that only in reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-staffer-caught-lewd-congress-video-resurfaces-shows-learned-nothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democratic politics<\/a> does one even write sentences like that. True or not, Chapin\u2019s accusation strikes one as the kind that could only occur in deep-blue voting districts.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the details of Platner\u2019s alleged rape had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/congressional-dems-pull-support-graham-platner-credible-rape-accusation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leading Democrats<\/a> calling the accusations against him \u201ccredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same held true for former Democratic Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-swalwells-campaign-paid-room-hotel-allegedly-raped-lonna-drewes-timeframe-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eric Swalwell<\/a> of California, who dropped out of that state\u2019s gubernatorial race in April after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/report-reveals-swalwell-continued-harassed-victims-snapchat-following-allegedly-gruesome-sexual-abuse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple accusations<\/a> of sexual harassment and sexual assault derailed his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Still, in light of the San Francisco news outlets\u2019 differing accounts, one cannot conclude what really happened at that party in 2020.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
