"Aenlle (pronounced ay-en-jay) has filed a 114-page civil rights complaint, as KTVU reports, suing the county and its board, alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, abuse of power, and defamation. The suit contends that county officials "deprived [Aenlle] of procedural and substantive due process, and retaliated against him for protected speech and association in support of Sheriff Corpus." The suit further alleges that county supervisors defamed and wrongfully fired Aenlle late last year,"
"deeming him "unsafe" and "not lawfully allowed to wear a badge or carry a gun." And the suit contends that Aenlle was deemed guilty by association as Corpus was the "target of [a] smear campaign." "This case is about standing up for the fundamental rights of every American free speech, due process, and equal protection under the law," Aenlle said in a statement. "If they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone.""
Victor Aenlle filed a 114-page civil rights complaint against San Mateo County and its board alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, abuse of power, and defamation. The complaint asserts deprivation of procedural and substantive due process and retaliation for protected speech and association in support of Sheriff Christa Corpus. The complaint alleges county supervisors labeled Aenlle "unsafe" and said he was "not lawfully allowed to wear a badge or carry a gun," and that he was punished by association amid a smear campaign targeting Corpus. Corpus faced a 10-day administrative hearing under a voter-approved charter amendment and denies allegations detailed in a 400-page investigative report.
