Former social worker pleads no contest to sex with clients

A former San Mateo County social worker charged with 20 felonies for having sexual relationships with two underage clients pleaded no contest to 10 counts on Friday in exchange for a nine-year prison sentence, prosecutors said today.

Manuel Sedillo-Messer, 39, worked as a Child Protective Services social worker with troubled East Palo Alto families from 2006 until he resigned on Oct. 24, 2014, while being investigated for the abuse.
