St. Paul Police Chief Files Civil Suit Against Mayor Over Alleged Harassment and Retaliation

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry has filed a 73-page civil lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her and the city, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The suit details specific incidents, including physical contact during a budget meeting and altered photographs, following an independent investigation that found Her’s behavior inappropriate but did not substantiate harassment claims. Her’s office maintains the investigation cleared her of serious misconduct, while Henry argues the city withheld the full report to minimize his complaints.
