Officer Christine Silk joined the Louisville Metro Police Department as a recruit in February of 2023 attorney Sarah Collins filed a lawsuit on behalf of Silk Tuesday.

The lawsuit claims that within Silk's first week in the police academy, one of her instructors, Officer Dale Cotton Jim began making inappropriate comments. Cotton Jim is alleged to have told Silk in front of her classmates to quote, whore yourself out for child care, specifically detailing that silk should quote, go on a date, take a guy home, sleep with him and then she would have child care and quote Silk reported these which led to a professional standards unit investigation.
