A former Phoenix police executive and ex-Arizona Attorney General’s Office aide was found to have committed sexual harassment this year at the state Department of Economic Security.
Gerald Richard, who worked as assistant to the Phoenix police chief from 2012 to 2014 and previously served under AG Terry Goddard, took an upper-management job at the state DES in February 2016.
The investigation and its outcome are detailed in nine of 127 pages of sexual harassment and other harassment allegations by state employees in the past two years, which were released by the Arizona Department of Administration to Phoenix New Times following a November 17 request.
Richard didn’t return a call left for him at the Phoenix church where he serves as pastor.
