The Florida Bar has opened an official inquiry into Monique Pardo Pope , a runoff candidate for the Miami Beach Commission whom documentarian Billy Corben accused of spreading lies about his legal record.

In a letter to Corben, the Bar confirmed it has opened a disciplinary file and is looking into his complaint that Pardo Pope intentionally lied about him after he revealed she is the daughter of serial killer Manuel Pope and detailed loving social media posts she wrote about him.

Pope has until Dec. 10, the day after Miami Beach’s runoff election, to respond to the matter, after which Corben will have 10 days to file a rebuttal.

According to the Florida Bar, just 25% of complaints or inquiries result in the opening of a disciplinary file.
