St. Paul Mayor Faces Independent Probe Over Harassment Claims

St. Paul’s first female mayor, Kaohly Her, is under a formal, independent investigation for sexual harassment following a complaint by Police Chief Axel Henry. An outside law firm is probing alleged inappropriate messages to city employees, including members of the police department. Her says she cooperates and regrets any unintended impact, while Henry filed the complaint to protect staff from retaliation; the investigation is ongoing and no findings or public report date have been announced.
