A San Diego police officer has filed two complaints against the department, alleging she has been sexually harassed and discriminated against for years.
In documents Stephanie L. Cockrell filed with the San Diego Police Department and state Civil Rights Department , she contends conflicts over the break-up of her marriage, to fellow Officer Tyler Cockrell, led to harassment and retaliation in the workplace.
“Despite her exemplary record, Claimant has been subjected to repeated and ongoing sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and a failure by the Department to provide protection from such misconduct,” her attorney alleges in the state complaint. “As a result, she has been forced to work in a hostile, intolerable, and unsafe environment.”
The state complaint was filed Wednesday
