REDWOOD CITY — A female San Mateo County sheriff’s deputy is suing her department with claims that male supervisors and commanders fostered a hostile work environment “rife with sex harassment and discrimination” that stymied her advancement, including an allegation she was sexually assaulted by her supervisor in front of several colleagues with no consequences.
The sheriff’s office responded to questions about the lawsuit with a statement saying that “several of these allegations are decades old and were investigated and adjudicated at the time,” and that the agency has taken affirmative steps to investigate” more recent allegations described in the suit. Barker devotes a significant portion of the lawsuit to accusing her sergeant on the SWAT team of harassment, recounting how on several occasions he made sexually aggressive and crude comments to her. The suit claims her colleagues passively approved his behavior by treating it light-heartedly and refusing to intervene even after she asked for support.
