St Paul Mayor Kaohly Her sued over sexual harassment of police chief
Key Points:
- St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her is accused in a lawsuit of making explicit sexual comments and engaging in harassment and retaliation against Police Chief Axel Henry, including inappropriate innuendos and unwanted physical contact.
- The complaint details incidents such as Her referring to herself as a "MILF," making sexually suggestive remarks about Henry's genitalia, and placing her hand on his thigh during a meeting.
- Her allegedly sought a "close relationship" with Henry, frequently visited the police gym to make suggestive gestures, and threatened to spread false accusations if her demands were not met.
- After Henry filed an internal complaint, the lawsuit claims Her and city officials retaliated by excluding him from decisions, withholding records, and releasing a minimized investigation summary.
- Her's office denies the allegations, stating an independent investigation found no substantiation of sexual harassment or retaliation, and she will continue to lead Saint Paul while following the report's recommendations.
