Explosive documents detailing allegations against San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus were made public after her attorneys filed them unsealed. The 59-page report by Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP outlines significant claims of corruption, retaliation, and improper use of authority within her office. Previously concealed from public view, these documents resulted in Corpus' removal from her position last month by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. The allegations include violations of laws and obstruction of investigations, particularly concerning her appointment of a close friend to senior roles.

Throughout her tenure, Sheriff Corpus has violated laws related to the performance of her duties and obstructed investigations into her conduct.
