Former S.F. Human Rights Commission Head Charged with Corruption
Sheryl Davis, the former head of San Francisco's Human Rights Commission, has been charged with corruption by county prosecutors. Davis is accused of funneling public funds into organizations she controlled, including Collective Impact, a nonprofit she previously led. The charges include conflict of interest, misappropriation of public funds, and accepting prohibited gifts. Prosecutors allege that Davis directed city contracts to Collective Impact while maintaining financial ties to the organization. The investigation revealed a pattern of self-dealing, with Davis allegedly using city funds for personal expenses and failing to disclose gifts. The charges follow an 18-month investigation involving multiple search warrants.
