HOUSTON (CN) - A police chief and two officers claim a former colleague defamed them in a gender discrimination complaint to the EEOC. The three Galena Park police officers sued Corrie Long and her attorneys for going public with claims that the chief and a sergeant forced her to resign by threatening to release topless photos of her to the media if she did not.
Police Chief Robert Pruett, Sgt. Jonathan Rader and patrol Officer Edward Mata sued former probation Officer Corrie Long, her attorney David Tang and his firm Michael P. Fleming & Associates, in Harris County Court.

According to Long's EEOC claim, she was involved in a romantic relationship with fellow Galena Park police Officer Terry Pena during her tenure with the department.
"In February, 2011, Robert Pruett, GPPD Police Chief, informed Corrie and Pena that their relationship violated his oral policy of 'no dating in the workplace.' Consequently, Corrie ended her relationship with Pena. Pruett then suspended Corrie for 5 days and Pena for 10 days. However, Pena was not made to serve the suspension and Corrie completed hers immediately as ordered," Long says in her EEOC complaint.
