San Mateo County supervisors voted unanimously on Wednesday to call for Sheriff Christina Corpus to resign following the release of a scathing independent report detailing allegations against her office. During a meeting on Wednesday, San Mateo County supervisors also voted to send a report, accusing her of extreme abuse of power to a civil grand jury. They also issued a vote of no confidence in San Mateo County’s top cop. Corpus also addressed the board, blasting the report and the motive behind it. “What has happened the last few days is disgusting,” she said. “I will not allow the board to threaten me in attempt to fire my chief of staff without cause. This inquiry was politically motivated and one sided. It was filled with lies.” The 400-page report is the findings of an investigation by retired Judge Ladoris Cordell and includes what she says is evidence of abuse by the sheriff’s office and staff. The report includes accusations that range from employee retaliation to overstepping authority. It goes on to allege lies, secrecy, and intimidation by the sheriff’s administration. Additionally, the report alleges that Corpus and her Chief of Staff, Victor Aenlle, are involved in a personal relationship. “Effective immediately, I’m appointing Victor Aenlle to the position of assistant sheriff,” Corpus said at Wednesday’s meeting. The San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association held a news briefing Wednesday ahead of the supervisors’ meeting and called on the board to ask for Corpus’ resignation. The union said it has no confidence at this time in the sheriff’s ability to lead. Union leaders in the news briefing also discussed the arrest of its president and claimed it was whistleblower retaliation. Corpus on Tuesday said the arrest of Carlos Tapia on suspicion of fraud had nothing to do with the investigation into allegations against her office. “I am shocked by the outright slander by two members of the board. These are people who have a vendetta against me. I am disgusted at how low these people will go,” Corpus said late Tuesday after Supervisors Noelia Corzo and Ray Mueller presented Cordell’s report during a news briefing. “These allegations are absolutely not true.” San Mateo County Nov 12 Calls for San Mateo County sheriff to resign after supes issue scathing report San Mateo County Sep 22 San Mateo County sheriff seeks investigation into county executive, claims discrimination San Mateo County Sep 10 San Mateo County deputies union voting on no-confidence resolution for sheriff's chief of staff In an exclusive interview with NBC Bay Area on Tuesday, Corpus said Cordell’s report itself is biased.
