A 57-page report details allegations against ex-police Chief Dean Capelletti, including lewd acts and a relationship with a subordinate whom he pressured for months.
OAKLEY — A former police chief who left the department under a cloud of mystery barely one year on the job was fired after an outside investigator found evidence of persistent sexual harassment, including a relationship with a subordinate whom he allegedly pressured for months until she eventually agreed to have sex with him, according to newly released documents.
One of the women said Capelletti reached under her skirt and groped her at work and that she told him to stop, but that he continued making advances, frequently inviting her to a hotel room, until she “gave in” and they began an affair. Both of the accusers initially reported Capelleti’s conduct to a police lieutenant, rather than the city’s human resources director, because one of the women believed Capelleti and the city’s former HR director were having an affair.
“As soon as the allegations were brought to my attention we immediately acted,” he said. “It has been my goal since I terminated the police chief to ensure that the culture that was described by the employees that alleged these sexual harassment claims would never happen again. But soon after he was sworn in, the harassment began, according to written statements both women provided as part of the investigation.
The woman wrote that their affair ended after she observed Capelletti kissing Oakley’s former HR director inside her office on the evening of July 31, 2021. In the heated text message exchange that followed, Capelletti denied having a relationship with the director.
The HR director is longer employed by the city, though the city refused to say whether she was fired or had quit, calling it a private personnel matter. The former director didn’t respond to requests for comment. When asked for any documents about potential wrongdoing by the director that are disclosable under state law, the city reported having “no responsive records.”
