St. Paul Police Chief Sues Mayor, City for Sex Harassment, Retaliation
- On Wednesday, St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry filed a lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her and the city, alleging she sexually harassed and battered him while officials "engaged in a series of retaliatory acts" following his complaint.
- The complaint follows a city-commissioned investigation released last week, which found Her "engaged in offensive and inappropriate behavior" toward staff but did not substantiate sexual harassment claims that Henry's lawsuit claims "falsely minimized" her conduct.
- Henry alleges Her subjected him to "unwanted and nonconsensual" physical contact during a budget meeting, doctored photos of him as a bodybuilder, and made sexual innuendos including referring to herself as a "MILF" in the department gym.
- Mayor Her's office denied the accusations Wednesday, citing the investigation's findings; the mayor replaced the St. Paul Police Department with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office for her security detail earlier this month.
- Seeking more than $50,000 in damages, the lawsuit alleges violations of the Minnesota Whistleblower Act and the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, claiming officials orchestrated a "campaign to retaliate against and discredit Chief Henry.
