Sheriff Christina Corpus is appealing her termination by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors due to corruption allegations. During her testimony, she denied having a romantic relationship with her former chief of staff, Victor Aenlle. She explained that Aenlle’s continued presence on the department's website resulted from her being busy. A 400-page report claimed that Corpus and Aenlle used intimidation within their department. Further questioning focused on her relationship with Associate Management Analyst Valerie Barnes, who provided conflicting testimonies regarding Corpus’s friendship with Aenlle.
Sheriff Christina Corpus stated, "This is a hearing where they are trying to take my job away from me," while appealing her firing over corruption allegations.
Corpus denied a romantic relationship with Victor Aenlle and characterized their bond as friendship, despite claims of intimidation and retaliation against staff.
Attorney Jan Little probed into why Aenlle remained on the sheriff's website post-termination; Corpus responded saying, "I've been a little busy."
Testimonies suggested that relationships within the department were complex, with Barnes asserting Aenlle and Corpus were more than just friends.
