This report is not surprising. It is disappointing and it does point directly at Sheriff’s Office management for creating an atmosphere that does not condemn any hint of such behavior.
A “new broom” is on deck for taking on this management challenge and she should address this villainy in no uncertain terms. The era of Munks and Bolanos can’t end quickly enough.

With the likes of Munks and Bolanos, the notorious visitors of a house of prostitution, leading the department this was a completely predictable result.

It is not OK that our taxes pay the salaries of people who treat their colleagues with such unkindness.

Why is she suing for only $25,000 and why is the DA not prosecuting for sexual assault?! Seems like this case should be worth $25 million for a ruined career and emotional distress.

I am a former San Mateo County Sheriff's Office employee. How embarrassing that Sgt. Minoit and his boys are a part of the organization. They only give it a bad name. Hopefully, Minoit and other Deputies like him will be kicked out of the organization! Maybe there's hope what with the new lady Sheriff coming into office

@Nanc - the $25,000 amount is simply a category for the type of complaint being filed. Lawsuits seeking damages under $25K are handled differently, so this is just a way to notify the court that the damages demanded will be above that amount. I expect that as the case progresses, the amount sought wil be much higher: "... unspecified damages in excess of $25,000."
This "boy's club" behavior is inexcusable. I (and many others) voted for Sheriff-elect Christina Corpus in hopes of breaking up this internal culture.
