Prosecutor: Audio of strip game on phone of California mayor

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California mayor was charged Thursday with providing alcohol to young adults last summer and making a secret recording of what prosecutors said was a game of strip poker that included a 16-year-old boy at a camp for underprivileged children run by the mayor.

Elected to office in 2012, he is a single father who served as chief executive of the Boys and Girls Club of Stockton from 2005 to 2013, as well as a school board member and president.

The charges stem from an FBI search of Silva's cellphone last year, after he was stopped briefly at San Francisco International Airport by authorities who confiscated his laptop and cellphone as part of an unspecified investigation.

Riebe said one of four video recordings found on Silva's cellphone was of a strip poker game that took place in the mayor's bedroom at the Stockton Silver Lake Camp in August 2015.

Before Silva was charged, the Stockton Police Officers Association endorsed his opponent Michael Tubbs, citing his commitment to cooperation with police in establishing good practices.
