De Leon tenders resignation
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Resigns as board member of Child Advocacy Centers
Former Cameron County District Attorney Yolanda De Leon has resigned from the board of directors for Cameron County's Child Advocacy Center.
De Leon "tendered" her resignation last week, said William Peacock, chairman of the board of directors, for Monica's House and Maggie's House.
De Leon has been named in a civil lawsuit that accuses her of providing confidential information to district attorney candidate Peter Zavaletta that was used in a political advertisement.
The confidential information belonged to the advocacy center and was not for publication, District Attorney Armando Villalobos said citing the state's family code on misuse of official information.
Peacock, declined to reveal the contents of De Leon's letter today, saying he wanted to present it to the board of directors first.
