A Missouri police officer accepted a $10.25 million settlement in his lawsuit with St. Louis County after he was passed up for 23 promotions and was told to “tone down” his “gayness.”

In October, a jury sided with then-Sgt. Keith Wildhaber and ordered St. Louis County to pay the officer nearly $20 million. The jury agreed that the county discriminated against Wildhaber when it refused to promote him 23 times while citing his “gayness” as part of the reason.
