SAN FRANCISCO – The former director of a San Francisco nonprofit is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, according to the San Francisco District Attorney.

On Monday, the DA charged Jonathan Jacobo with one count of rape, one count of oral copulation by force, one count of sexual battery by restraint and one count of domestic violence. 

The 35-year-old is accused of assaulting a former girlfriend in 2021 after she had communicated to him that she did not want any sexual contact.

The DA’s office said Jacobo raped a woman he was previously in a relationship with. The woman “ended the intimate relationship and made it clear to Mr. Jacobo that she was only interested in a platonic friendship,” prosecutors said in a statement.

Jacobo sexually assaulted the woman in his home after she had “explicitly communicated to him that she did not want any sexual contact, which he stated he understood,” prosecutors said. 

Jacobo resigned from his position with an affordable housing nonprofit in April. 

Troy Franklin’s speed was on display during training camp on Tuesday.

The Denver Broncos’ rookie wide receiver caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Zach Wilson during seven-on-seven drills. Franklin, who posted a time of 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting combine, confirmed what everyone already knew – he’s fast.

Franklin’s touchdown catch caught Denver coach Sean Payton’s eye and he has liked what he has seen from the former Oregon Ducks’ star during camp.

“He’s doing well. He picks things up well,” Payton told reporters Monday. “We all see his speed, and we feel his speed. Like the rest of the rookies, [they] have these glimpses or these moments where they are gaining confidence. He had a nice play today, and he’s doing well.”

Possessing speed is nice, but Franklin knows he needs to add more elements to his game to become an elite wide receiver. Some scouts questioned his route-running skills prior to the draft and he’s been working diligently on improving that aspect during offseason workouts and training camp.

“It just helps my game even more, being a technician and then having the speed. Those are two lethal combos,” Franklin told Aric DiLalla of denverbroncos.com. “Right now, I’m just trying to make sure my technique’s down and [that] I’m not just using my speed to my advantage.”

The Broncos traded up to select Franklin in the fourth round (No. 102) of the 2024 NFL draft. Many evaluators were surprised Franklin dropped to the fourth round and say the Broncos may have gotten a steal. Franklin is eager to prove the Broncos made a good decision when they face the Indianapolis Colts in their first preseason game on Sunday.

“I can’t wait to get out there and show what I can do,” Franklin said.

The Detroit Tigers hit the road this week for a six-game West Coast trip that will first take them to play three against the Seattle Mariners starting Tuesday night.

After a solid showing for much of July, AJ Hinch’s squad has dropped seven of their last nine games — and with the trade deadline now in the rearview mirror, it does not look like it is going to get much better over the home stretch of the season either. Seattle has also seen some struggles lately, having gone 8-7 since the All-Star Break aided greatly by a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox plus taking two of three from the Philadephia Phillies last weekend.

These trips to the Left Coast have been perilous in the past for the Olde English D and it does not look much better over the next three games. Take a look at the pitching matchups lined up for this week’s series, with an obligatory TBD for the Tigers on Thursday.

Series Outlook: It’s always tough out West

The Mariners lead the American League West but only by 1.5 games over the Houston Astros while the Tigers are 14.5 games behind the Central-leading Cleveland Guardians coming into this one.

Offensively, these teams are not terribly different, with Detroit ranked No. 26 in OPS (.676) while Seattle is ranked No. 27 (.673); in fact, the visitors have scored significantly more runs (20th, 470) than the home team (27th, 447). However, there is a significant difference in the pitching staffs, with the Mariners sitting second in the majors in ERA (3.48) while the Tigers rank 17th (4.01).

Long story short, the good guys do not match up terribly well against the home team and the difference in team records stands for a good reason. Maybe — just maybe — Detroit can catch them with their pants down this week.
