San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus faces a potential removal following a voter-approved measure, spurred by severe allegations detailed in a 400-page report. Claims include misconduct involving racial and homophobic slurs and favoritism towards a romantic partner, Victor Aenlle. The removal process is uncharted territory for the county supervisors, who must establish rules for hearings that may last over three months. Concerns about the safety of witnesses and guidelines to prevent harassment are noted, indicating the seriousness of the allegations and the proceedings.
The San Mateo County voters granted their Board of Supervisors the authority to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus, following serious allegations against her conduct.
Procedures for a sheriff's removal do not exist, leading supervisors to create rules for removal hearings resembling a court trial, expected to last months.
