For the second time in less than a week, an LMPD officer is making sexual harassment allegations against the department.Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel was suspended last week because she allegedly mishandled a police major's sexual harassment complaint.On Tuesday, a different officer filed a sexual harassment complaint in Jefferson County Circuit Court.In less than a year on the job, Louisville Metro Police Department Officer Christine Silk claims she was sexually harassed by two male supervisors."This department is great," Silk said during a 2022 interview with 비바카지노 Viva News.At the time, she was a recruit, training to become an LMPD officer.On Tuesday, Silk filed a civil suit against LMPD.In the complaint, the officer alleges she was sexually harassed by two male supervisors.Silk claims in the lawsuit that her academy instructor, Dale Cottongim, made numerous inappropriate comments.In one instance, Silk says Cottongim told her to "whore herself out for childcare."He then explained 맥스카지노� and this statement was repeated multiple times 맥스카지노� that she "pick a guy up, go out with him, take him home, sleep with him, and then she would have child care," said Silk's attorney, Sara Collins, who says Silk reported the instructor's actions to her superiors.According to Mayor Craig Greenberg's office, Cottongim received a reprimand and was transferred out of the training unit.Silk was sworn in as an LMPD officer on Sept. 8, 2023 and assigned a field training officer named Justin LeMon."He kept propositioning her, making advances toward her. And from the very beginning, she made it very clear I'm not interested in a romantic or sexual relationship with you. I only want a professional relationship with you," said Collins.But according to the lawsuit, LeMon persisted.One day, during training, Silk became hot and sweaty and removed her bulletproof vest."When she took her vest off, he said, 'I didn't know that you had abs.' And he started to pull her shirt up and brushed the bottom part of her breast, and she had to smack his hand away," said Collins.Officer Silk also claims Officer LeMon sent her two inappropriate pictures.The photos are included in Silk's lawsuit. "It is certainly a very direct and obvious act of sexual harassment to send an unsolicited and clearly unwelcomed, sexually explicit picture of your genitalia," said Collins.According to the mayor's office, Officer LeMon is still under investigation and has been reassigned and stripped of his police duties."Officers are not terminated for sexual harassment, at most suspended. They get a slap on the wrist. So you can say all day long you don't tolerate sexual harassment when in reality you do," said Collins.In her lawsuit, Silk claims emotional distress, physical pain and mental anguish. She's demanding compensatory and punitive damages.LMPD responded to the suit against the department by saying in part: "LMPD will not tolerate sexual misconduct within this agency as those behaviors run afoul of our mission to provide a safe work environment for all sworn and professional staff. We take all allegations of this nature seriously and immediately launch internal investigations once they are brought to our attention."The statement goes on to say neither officer named in Silk's civil action is assigned to her division or unit.When reached for comment by 비바카지노 Viva News, Cottongim said he couldn't comment due to "pending litigation."Officer LeMon did not respond.
