Victor Aenlle, former chief of staff to San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, alleges he was wrongfully terminated and discriminated against, seeking $15 million in damages. His claims arise after the Cordell report accused the sheriff’s office of misconduct, suggesting Aenlle was targeted due to his race. He asserts that he faced retaliatory actions unlike white employees, while also addressing his removal following funding cuts. Although accused of a relationship with Corpus, both deny these allegations. Aenlle has since been rehired as a reserve deputy, raising further questions about the county’s actions and motivations.
The investigation that led to my wrongful termination was fundamentally flawed from the start — its so-called findings were the fruit of a poisoned tree, Aenlle stated.
Aenlle's claim alleges the county officials acted out of racial animus, targeting him differently than similarly situated white employees, causing him distress and reputational harm.
