New Orleans mayor indicted on federal corruption charges

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D) was indicted on federal charges Friday after an alleged affair with a local police officer.

Cantrell, the city’s first female mayor, is accused of engaging in a romantic relationship with Jeffrey Paul Vappie II, a police officer in the executive protection unit.

Court documents allege she orchestrated out-of-state trips to maximize their opportunities to engage in “personal activities” that cost the city of New Orleans more than $70,000 in addition to travel expenses for Cantrell.

Prosecutors say both Cantrell and Vappie were warned about misconduct in 2022.

“Public officials should be in their jobs to serve the public and not themselves. To do otherwise is a breach of the trust that undermines the public’s faith and trust in their own government,” acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana Michael Simpson said at a Friday press conference.

The Democratic mayor is in her final term as the city’s leader and is now charged with making false statements and false declarations before a grand jury, conspiracy to obstruct justice and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Nobody is surprised.
