Civics, Charity and Sexual Violence

Chronicle investigative reporters Alexandria Bordas and Cynthia Dizikes lay out their new investigation finding years of problems in a civic and charitable organization that helped launch the careers of numerous politicians. They include Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater and former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli, who has denied more than a dozen women's allegations of sexual assault. The group, Active 20-30, raises money for children, but current and former members describe a culture celebrating binge drinking and enabling sexual violence, in which many people missed or ignored Foppoli's alleged behavior. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
