San Diego Police Officer Files Harassment and Retaliation Claims: Press Conference Coverage
Last Thursday, Antonyan Miranda Director of Employment Law Litigation and Personal Injury Relations Mila Arutunian stood with Officer Stephanie Cockrell in front of the San Diego Police Department headquarters to announce legal action against the City and SDPD.
The case centers on allegations of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and retaliation within the department. Officer Cockrell is accusing the San Diego Police Department for subjecting her to false rumors—including degrading accusations that she traded sexual favors for career advancement—and punished professionally when she spoke out.
At the press conference, Mrs. Arutunian addressed reporters, making it clear that no workplace, including a police department, is above the law. Multiple outlets covered the event and the lawsuit in detail.

This case is a stark reminder that harassment and retaliation can’t be hidden behind uniforms or titles—and that when employees are silenced, the law gives them a voice.
