Victor Aenlle
Victor Aenlle, the chief of staff to former San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, said he release from the Sheriff’s Office one week after Ken Binder was appointed as the new sheriff was strictly political and a form of retaliation.
Aenlle was a central figure in the year-long scandal that led to the county Board of Supervisors removing Corpus last month.
In November 2024, the county released the results of an investigation into Corpus and Aenlle conducted by retired judge LaDoris Cordell. The report accused Aenlle and Corpus of fostering a culture of intimidation and retaliation in the Sheriff’s Office. They were also accused of having an affair, which drew concerns over a conflict of interest in Corpus’ hiring of Aenlle as her chief of staff. The two repeatedly denied having a romantic relationship.
After the Board of Supervisors tried to fire Aenlle by removing his position following the release of the Cordell report, he stayed in the Sheriff’s Office as a reserve deputy. But his last day on the job was Tuesday, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Aenlle filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in September accusing the county of retaliation, wrongful termination, abuse of power, and defamation. His legal counsel is reviewing further options in response to his final removal from the Sheriff’s Office.
