Dear All,

 

                On Wednesday, May 29, an Airbnb host was arraigned on
criminal charges stemming from the removal of a service animal handler from
his property. Juan Gomez - the Airbnb host - was not present during the
arraignment but was represented by legal counsel. On behalf of Mr. Gomez,
his attorney entered a plea of "Not guilty" and requested a trial by jury.
The judge set a trial date for Monday, July 22. Our local ABC affiliate
covered the story and their investigative reporter is interested in pursuing
more stories about the challenges we face as service animal handlres. Here
is the link to view the report on the arraignment.
