Kaohly Her, the first female mayor of St Paul, Minnesota, is reportedly under investigation for sexual harassment following a complaint filed by the city’s police chief. The allegations involve Her, a Democrat elected in November, sending inappropriate messages to employees, including several members of the police department.

City leaders have engaged an outside law firm to conduct an independent inquiry into the matter. The New York Times and NBC News have reported on the investigation.

The inquiry is ongoing, and no further details have been disclosed at this time.
