00:00The findings by an independent law firm show allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation
00:05brought by Police Chief Axel Henry were unsubstantiated. However, the report does
00:10confirm allegations that some of hers actions were inconsistent with the city's workplace
00:14conduct policy. Those actions included engaging in offensive and inappropriate behavior with
00:20city employees, creating and sharing offensive material, and creating an uncomfortable work
00:26environment. In a statement, Herr admits she became too informal in her communications,
00:32crossed lines she shouldn't have, and apologizes for any discomfort she caused. She says she is
00:37committed to learning from the experience and intends to comply with all of the recommended
00:41action steps as laid out by the city's HR director. Laura Oaks, News Talk 830 WCCO.
00:48The investigation stems from sexual harassment complaints filed against Mayor Herr earlier this
00:53year by St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry. Chief Henry was reportedly notified yesterday that the
00:58investigation was finished. In a statement, Henry's attorney Chris Maddell wrote that it's his
01:02understanding that only a summary of the investigation would be released and said that
01:07they need to publish the full report for everyone to see. Maddell went on to write that if the report
01:11exonerated Mayor Herr, the findings would have been immediately released and that, quote,
