Synopsis as reported by the agency
On various dates Officer Reyes violated the Policy Prohibiting Discrimination in the Workplace by engaging in conduct that constitutes sexual harassment and breach of confidentiality. Specifically, the Officer told a graphic story about a medical professor sticking his finger in a cadaver’s anus and then sticking his finger in his mouth – before having students do the same. The Officer then re-enacted the finger gesture. The Officer further advised a female co-worker that he blocked her view on his monitor so that he didn't have “impure” thoughts about her. Lastly, upon receiving notice that he was a respondent in an EED investigation, the Officer breached confidentiality and told a fellow officer about the open investigation.
