"Among other things, Burger claims that Cerar and other male detectives used derogatory terms when referring to sexual assault victims.

Two male detectives covered their cubicles with inappropriate sexual photos, and, when told to take them down after Burger complained, harassed her, according to her lawsuit.

Burger also claims that male detectives were treated better than their female counterparts, and that when she complained to SDPD internal affairs, she was harassed and endured retaliation."
