Just weeks before he leaves office, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo on Thursday proposed a new ordinance that he said will better protect survivors of sexual assault and keep the community safe.

"They’re not sharing it with the one entity that can actually do something about the very real threat posed by the assailant. That’s the police," said Liccardo.

"Their interactions with us made it clear that they were not interested in solving this problem. And because of that, they will continue to be the problem," said Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen. In an emailed statement to KTVU, Uber representatives wrote in part, "We are clear with survivors that contacting police is their choice to make—and if they decide to go to the police, we have dedicated teams ready to support both them and law enforcement. This position is guided by the foremost experts on this issue and by survivors themselves."
