COVER-UP? Investigation into Allegations of Statutory Rape by California Sheriff Candidate Wayne Woo ‘Flawed’
By Project Veritas

Project Veritas released undercover footage exposing the Placer County Sheriff’s Department’s alleged improper actions while investigating claims of sexual misconduct involving a minor by Undersheriff and current candidate for Sheriff Wayne Woo.
Here are some of the details from the video:
- Placer County Sheriff candidate Wayne Woo “admitted to sexual relationship” with alleged minor, according to affidavit exclusively obtained by Project Veritas Action (PVA).
- While the investigation determined the claim that the “alleged victim” was a minor was “unfounded,” the affidavit signed by former Chief Assistant District Attorney Charles Jeffrey Wilson notes the investigation was conducted by Woo’s subordinate “in a manner designed to conceal information” and was “objectively inappropriate.”
- According to an affidavit exclusively published by Project Veritas Action, outgoing Placer County Sheriff Devon Bell should have referred a criminal complaint against Undersheriff Wayne Woo to the District Attorney’s office. The complaint alleged an inappropriate sexual relationship with a minor who attended ride-alongs with Woo. Bell instead investigated the matter internally and deemed the allegation to be unfounded because the victim’s permission slip indicated she was 18 years old. Project Veritas Action was unable to find evidence that the Sheriff’s office investigated her age beyond the permission slip.
- The affidavit states the DA’s office, “was never asked to assist in the investigation, nor was a case referred to our office for review.” Project Veritas Action interviewed multiple witnesses in undercover footage who corroborated much of the information in Wilson’s affidavit.
- According to the affidavit, Sheriff Devon Bell told the DA’s office that Woo admitted having a sexual relationship with the alleged victim, but it was when she was 18 and not underage.
- Outgoing Sheriff Devon Bell, and The Sacramento Bee, which is Sacramento’s biggest newspaper by circulation, have endorsed Woo in Tuesday’s upcoming election for Sheriff.
With Undersheriff Wayne Woo running in Tuesday’s election, EVERYONE deserves to know the truth about these allegations and the way the Sheriff’s department handled them.
If the allegations are in fact false and the investigation exonerated Woo, why is the investigation being kept secret from the Public?
