The former Seattle police chief denies allegations made against him by 4 female officers

Deon J. Hampton is a national reporter for NBC News.

Former Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz, who was accused by four female officers in the department of discrimination, harassment and maintaining a hostile work environment, said the allegations against him are false. He also said publicly for the first time that he is gay. Diaz, who was removed from his post last month and reassigned, denied the allegations and came out in a wide-ranging interview this week with radio talk show host Jason Rantz.

“Simply stated, chief Diaz seemingly engaged in predatory and discriminatory behavior,’ the claim said. “It is apparent that he does not reprimand others, such Sgt. O’Neil, because he sees nothing wrong with it.” The attorney for the four women, Sumeer Singla, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. In May, Eric Greening, a 30-year veteran of the department, sued Diaz, alleging the former chief retaliated against him after he reported discriminatory practices within the department.
