San Mateo County executive files $10.5 million claim against embattled sheriff

In the latest in a slew of legal battles, San Mateo County Executive Mike Callagy filed a $10.5 million defamation claim against embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus, her former Chief of Staff Victor Aenlle, and the county.

The claim, received by San Mateo County on March 13 and released publicly Monday, centers on accusations that Corpus and Aenlle allegedly made “false statements” asserting Callagy interfered in sheriff’s office affairs, overstepped his role as county executive, and blocked daycare plans for sheriff’s deputies.
