St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her faces fresh harassment allegations as probe widens

New allegations against St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her surface as an outside law firm investigates a formal harassment complaint by Police Chief Axel Henry. A former deputy chief says Her made inappropriate comments about breasts, engaged in other conduct, and altered images displayed at police headquarters; she reportedly placed her portrait over officers’ faces and circulated edited UFC images. The deputy chief reportedly retired due to the alleged behavior. Her’s spokesperson did not immediately comment, and she says the portrayal doesn’t reflect what happened while stressing respect for the investigative process and that city priorities continue.
