Manny Yekutiel Accused of Sexual Assault | San Francisco News

San Francisco activist and cafe owner Manny Yekutiel is facing serious sexual assault allegations from a man who claims he was groped at a party in February 2020 — an incident he says never happened. The accuser, who delayed reporting due to fear and Yekutiel’s fame, filed a police report in April, sparking a firestorm that’s already led major supporters — including Christine Pelosi, Lateefah Simon, Rob Bonta, and Myrna Melgar — to withdraw endorsements. Yekutiel accuses the timing of the claims of being politically motivated, pointing to police’s lack of follow-up. The accuser insists his story is true and aims to empower others to speak up. As Yekutiel’s political campaign and beloved cafe become battlegrounds, the case exposes the tangled web of personal conduct, public image, and power in San Francisco politics.
