LONGVIEW, Texas — The city of Longview’s former animal shelter director resigned after being accused of sexual harassment, according to city documents. But one of his former co-workers says the allegations are untrue and were made with “malicious intent.”
Chris Kemper, who served as director of the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, resigned July 1 after working for the city for 18 years. Kemper helped open the animal shelter eight years ago.
