San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has vehemently denied accusations leveled in a scathing independent investigator’s report alleging the county’s first Latina sheriff had an inappropriate relationship with her chief of staff, retaliated against officers and employees and used racist and homophobic slurs in the workplace.

There was a heated Board of Supervisors meeting in San Mateo County as the board unanimously voted to ask Sheriff Christina Corpus to step down.

For the third time, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus on Wednesday addressed allegations levied against her, calling accusations of racial and homophobic remarks alleged by county officials, false.
