Ousted Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson is being sued for sex assault and harassment by the same female cop he was seen kissing the night he was found slumped at the wheel of his car in a drunken stupor.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired Johnson for “lying” about falling asleep behind the wheel of his car last year.
Johnson, who was promoted to superintendent in 2016, had been on the police force for 31 years. He was just weeks away from retirement when he was canned.
Before officers found Johnson slumped at the wheel, he was spotted at a bar kissing Officer Cynthia Donald.
On Thursday, Donald filed a lawsuit claiming Johnson sexually harassed her after having her reassigned to his unit.
She said he sent her nude photos, forced her to engage in sex acts and sexually harassed her at work.
Donald said Johnson told her he was attracted to her. Three months later, he pushed her onto a couch, pulled down her pants and “forcibly” performed oral sex on her. Afterward, he ejaculated on her, and said: “Now you belong to me.”
Ofc. Donald claimed Mayor Lightfoot “retaliated” against her after she found out about her affair with Johnson in 2016.
During a press conference to announce Johnson’s termination on Dec. 2, Lightfoot refused to release details of his relationship with Ofc. Donald, saying she wanted to protect his wife and three children.
Johnson and his wife, Junior Officer Lt. Nakia Fenner, 43, (pictured above, 2nd from right) were married in 2017. A scowling Mayor Lightfoot is pictured at left.
Johnson is also a defendant in a lawsuit filed by disgraced actor Jussie Smollett against the city of Chicago in 2019. Smollett was sued by the City for over $390,000 for wasting the police department’s time and resources investigating his lies about a hate crime.
