Charles Hurley keeps dropping. The former chief of the Miami-Dade Schools Police was suspended from the position back in May after reports he had sexually harassed female officers. He was officially demoted in January, and now its come to light that a few days later, he turned in his resignation letter.
NBC Miami reports he put in his resignation on February 8th, just a little over a week after his demotion.
“I have a lot to say about it, but I’m not making any comment,” Hurley told the station. “I won’t be making any comments.”
Hurley is currently facing a lawsuit brought on by two former female officers. Among other things, Hurley is alleged to have whipped out his penis and forcibly kissed one of the women. The women said they were victims of retaliation when they tried to speak up.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
The school board has since begun its search for a new chief.
