Jury deliberations will resume later today in the civil trial of former Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli. The former mayor is accused of physically and sexually abusing multiple women over a period of about 20 years. Jurors deliberated Thursday but were unable to reach a verdict in the case. Seven women testified against Foppoli during the trial, telling jurors under oath that he sexually abused them. Their allegations span years and involve multiple incidents. Foppoli has denied the allegations and maintained that he is completely innocent of all charges. The civil case is separate from criminal proceedings, and the jury’s deliberations will determine whether Foppoli can be held financially liable for the allegations against him. Jurors are expected to continue weighing the testimony and evidence when deliberations resume later today. The trial has drawn attention because of the number of women who testified and the length of time covered by the allegations.
