The lawsuit alleges that the officers sexually exploited her instead of offering her help to quit the sex trade. In October, Richmond city manager Bill Lindsay announced the city was seeking to fire four of the officers implicated in the scandal. The woman's claims that she had sexual relations with two dozen officers caused upheaval at several law enforcement agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The city paid the teen nearly $1 million to settle claims that officers in that department also sexually exploited the woman. A court-appointed investigator concluded earlier this year that Whent downplayed the woman's allegations and the department failed to properly investigate her claims.
