Top cop resigns amid turmoil from sexual harassment lawsuits, Scottie Scheffler arrest

Louisville, Kentucky sergeant says she was ‘shocked’ after her boss’ husband allegedly propositioned her for sex

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.

She is the third full-time Louisville top cop to resign or be terminated since 2020, when officers fatally shot Breonna Taylor during a botched drug raid, setting off a national media firestorm.

In a suit filed last week, Sgt. Lauren Carby alleges that her male superior attempted to kiss her at a pool party at his home, and that his wife – also a Louisville officer and her direct supervisor – encouraged the tryst.

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.

Jeff Lauder approached Carby – a married mother – offered some remarks about her physique and then directly propositioned her for sex, the papers state.

His wife, Lauder stressed, had endorsed the idea as they were in an open relationship. “Lauren was shocked, disturbed and extremely uncomfortable,” the suit says.
