An explosive report about San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus--alleging a culture of intimidation and retaliation as well as an inappropriate intimate relationship with her chief of staff--has plunged the law enforcement agency into disarray. Here's the timeline of events that led up to and followed the report's release.
An explosive 400-page report on San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus was released by an independent investigator on Nov. 12, 2024. The report laid out a damning case against the sheriff, who's accused of fostering a culture of intimidation and retaliation and having an inappropriate intimate relationship with her chief of staff."I believe that transparency and integrity should be the foundation of San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
A civilian employee told the independent investigator that Coprus confided that she and Victor were going to get divorced from their respective spouses and wanted to get married to each other. Corpus asked the employee to find wedding sites for them, and the employee sent some venues online on Maui, to which both Corpus and Aellne replied with appreciation.
"We were in a big hurry. I didn't see you. I went there to have the sheriff be on vacation. I watch the kids." In the independent report, HR confirms that it honored the request as "a one-time non-precedent setting exception" because the Sheriff had already promised the salary to Aellne.San Mateo County Counsel John Nibbelin retained retired Judge LaDoris Cordell to conduct an independent fact-finding investigation into complaints and concerns about the executive team of Sheriff Christina Corpus.
"He made an inappropriate and offensive request I needed to inform him who I dated within the county and when. A request I found demeaning and discriminatory. As a woman of color who has endured sexual harassment in this county, I was shocked and appalled by his actions and conduct.
The decision came after Corpus made a dramatic entrance--and quick exit--into the meeting to defend herself. She denies all wrongdoing.Corpus said because of this, she is appointing Aenlle to the position of assistant sheriff "effective immediately."
