In 2018, Sheriff Lance Benedict was implicated in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his secretary, Ms. Minarsky. The lawsuit alleged that Benedict’s subordinate, Chief Clerk Yadlosky, engaged in persistent sexual harassment over four years, including unwanted touching and explicit emails. Despite prior complaints, Benedict failed to take effective action to stop the harassment. The case highlighted the Sheriff’s Office’s inadequate response to misconduct and led to increased scrutiny of its handling of such issues.
