A former Los Angeles County assistant sheriff is suing Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his department over what she claims was a demotion of her position done in retaliation for complaining about a deputyRobin Limon, who served on the command staff just below Villanueva, filed the lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday. Limon alleges retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and violations of the Public Safety Officer’s Bill of Rights.
Prosecutors declined to charge deputy with sex crimes. Years later, he’s accused of abusing three sisters “Villanueva’s legacy as sheriff will be known as much for incompetence as corruption,” the lawsuit states. “It will take years for any future sheriff to clean up the mess.”The incident was recorded on security cameras at the courthouse and first published by The Times in late March.
