In September 2019, the city settled a $1.55 million lawsuit with 15 current and former female deputies who alleged sexual harassment while working in the county jail. The complaint detailed that male inmates groped female deputies and masturbated in front of them, behavior stemming from a lack of protective structures for the women during their workday. The lawsuit highlighted severe misconduct and the department’s failure to safeguard its employees.
