SHE WAS JUST ONE OF SILVA'S TARGETS.

THE DEPARTMENT INTERVIEWED DOZENS OF PEOPLE, MOST OF THEM SILVIS EMPLOYEES FOR AN INTERNAL HIM THERE'S REPORT.

THEY ALL EITHER EXPERIENCED, OR WITNESSED CLOSE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION, TARGETING AND INAPPROPRIATE RACIAL REMARKS.

SILVA RETIRED BEFORE HE WAS PUNISHED, AND WAS ALLOWED TO KEEP HIS FULL PENSION.

I WOULD PUT MY HEADPHONES ON AND PRETEND I WAS LISTING OR SOMETHING, AND HOPE HE WOULD CONTINUE.

>> Reporter: NO ONE WOULD FROM THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT WOULD DO AN INTERVIEW, BUT THEY SAID IN A STATEMENT.

WE HOLD ALL OUR EMPLOYEES TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND REQUIRE OUR STAFF TO TREAT EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT AND COMPASSION, THE STATEMENT SAID.

CHRISMAN SAID IT'S COMMON FOR OFFICERS TO NOT REPORT HARASSMENT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING.

>> VERY OFTEN, IF YOU REPORT IT , NOTHING HAPPENS.

AND THAT IS EVEN WORSE, BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE SORT OF JEOPARDIZED YOURSELF, PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE FOR SOME RETALIATION, AND FOR WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO YOU BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED?

>> Reporter: RALPH AND STIESMEYER SAYS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY SAY THEY WERE BLACKLISTED, AND FACED RETALIATION.

FINALLY, THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

BOTH WALKED AWAY FROM WHAT HAD ONCE BEEN THEIR DREAM JOBS.

I WASN'T VESTED SO I DON'T GET IT ENGINE.

I HAD A TAKE-HOME CAR, I LOST THAT.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN THAT SITUATION, OR THEY MIGHT BE SINGLE MOMS ARE THEY ARE THE PRIMARY CARETAKER AND INCOME, AND THEY CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY.

I LOST ALL OF MY INSURANCE, AND I LOST MY CAREER.

SO IT IS HARD TO REPORT THAT, AND BECAUSE THERE IS THE STATEMENT THAT YOU ARE THE SNITCH, YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY BLACK LISTED FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREER.
