Official: Oakland mayor bungled police sex misconduct probe
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A court-appointed California investigator has blamed Oakland's mayor and the city's former police chief for mishandling and downplaying a sexual misconduct scandal in the city's police department.
Investigator Ed Swanson in documents filed in court Wednesday puts much of the blame on former Police Chief Sean Whent but also singles out Mayor Libby Schaaf for failing to monitor the case after she vowed dramatic reforms.
