A second senior police official in St Paul has alleged sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct by the Minnesota city’s Democratic mayor, Kaohly Her, following confirmation that an inquiry into her behavior was launched earlier this year.
The new claims were reported on Thursday by the Minnesota Star Tribune, which said it obtained further details of the mayor’s alleged actions that gave rise to the original complaint by Axel Henry, the police chief of St Paul.
An unnamed high-ranking female police officer, the newspaper said, claimed Her “created a sexualized work environment” and “commented on her breasts and made vulgar noises in the police gym”.
The veteran officer, the Star Tribune said, was so unsettled by that encounter and other episodes that she resigned her position.
