St. Paul Police Chief Files Sexual Harassment Complaint Against Mayor Kaohly Her
The complaint alleges inappropriate sexual comments and unlawful texts, and says the behavior extended beyond isolated incidents to other city employees and police officers.
- On Tuesday, St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry filed a formal sexual harassment complaint against Mayor Kaohly Her, prompting the city to hire Resolute Law to investigate allegations that Her made sexualized comments toward Henry and other employees.
- In an April 1 letter to City Attorney Irene Kao, attorney Chris Madel alleged Her used mobile phones to send "inappropriate, and, indeed, unlawful text messages," demanding a full filesystem extraction and warning that "litigation is reasonably foreseeable."
- Messages purportedly from Her include "Happy Weiner Wednesday" and a manipulated, sexually suggestive image of a security officer, with Madel claiming the harassment extends "beyond isolated incidents" to include other Paul Police Department employees.
- Spokesperson Matt Wagenius stated the city will not comment on the matter due to the ongoing investigation, while Paul Police Federation president Mark Ross said the organization's focus remains "on supporting the rank-and-file members who are out in the community risking their lives everyday."
- Her faces a $26 million budget gap for the 2027 fiscal year with a budget address scheduled for Aug. 13, and reports indicate a former friend accused her of sending "inappropriate or sexualized questions" last year.
