The embattled police department has been hit with three sexual harassment complaints in the last month after Scottie Scheffler's botched arrest that ignited a national firestorm.
The scandal-engulfed Louisville Metro Police Department was hit with two sexual harassment complaints in the past month, with allegations of nude selfies, swinging officers and wild pool parties flying around the agency. The ongoing turmoil – compounded by the controversial bust of golf star Scottie Scheffler earlier this month – led to the resignation of police chief Jackie Gwinn-Villaroel this week.
Carby asserts in the court papers that Lt. Jeff Lauder and his spouse, Maj. Shannon Lauder, hosted the 'adults only' bash for members of the department's Special Victims Unit at their home in 2020. The hosts, Carby alleges, soon became intoxicated and Shannon Lauder began kissing a detective in full view of the other guests before disappearing with him into another part of the residence.
Carby declined the offer and left the party, the suit states. Fearing retribution, she decided not to file a formal complaint at the time. With rumors about the party swirling in the department, a probe was opened in 2022 but eventually fizzled. Carby is now suing the agency for damages. Another female officer, Christine Silk, filed a suit accusing two male colleagues of repeatedly harassing her – with one sending her a picture of his penis.
LeMon, she said, also forced her to read out sexual fantasies about her he had written out on his phone, court papers state. Officer Dale Cottongim, who was her training instructor, crudely questioned her about her son and made other offensive remarks in front of other officers, the papers allege. 'In front of her Academy classmates Cottongim asked Christine if she 'had a one-night stand to have your son? Is that why the kid doesn’t have a father?’' the lawsuit charges.
