The San Mateo County District Attorney on Monday announced that prosecutors did not find any evidence that a sheriff's deputy – who is entangled in a politically charged battle with the sheriff – is guilty of time card fraud. DA Steve Wagstaffe went further, saying that his office's investigation into Deputy Carlos Tapia "showed that there was no basis to believe any violation of law had occurred, and finally that Deputy Tapia should not have been arrested.
According to the critical report, written by retired Santa Clara County Judge LaDoris Cordell, Corpus has had an intimate relationship with Victor Aenlle, who was promoted to work in her office despite having a background in real estate and not law enforcement. Cordell also found that Corpus repeatedly recommended pay raises for him and had him working directly underneath her, in violation of the Sheriff's Office's conflict of interest policies. Corpus has denied that relationship.
