St. Paul Police Chief Sues Mayor Her Over Alleged Harassment and Retaliation
St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry has filed a 73-page lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her and the city, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The suit claims Her touched his thigh during a budget meeting, made sexual innuendos, and doctored photos of officers. While a prior city investigation found Her’s behavior 'inappropriate' but did not substantiate harassment claims, Henry argues the city withheld the full report. Her’s office denies the allegations, citing the investigation’s findings, while Henry seeks damages for emotional distress and lost wages.
