Anthony Becker was found guilty of leaking a 2022 civil grand jury report to a reporter, and then lying about it under oath.

The grand jury report, titled "Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Santa Clara City Council," alleged unethical relationships between multiple members of the City Council and the 49ers. Becker allegedly leaked a draft of the report at least three days ahead of its planned Oct.10 release.

Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen said that evidence shows that Jennifer Gries made up the rape stories because she was angry at a co-worker.

Anh Colton, 48, of Cupertino, has had no law enforcement experience in the last five years. California law requires that candidates for sheriff have at least one year of law enforcement experience within the last five years.
