Judge Jerks Off During Mediation
A district court judge is accused of using inappropriate language and appeared to be masturbating while mediating a divorce settlement. (How does one only ‘appear’ to be masturbating?) One of the lawyers present alleges that the judge’s actions were so offensive that even her client’s estranged husband complained about it during the trial. Moreover, the woman involved in the case continued that the judge attempted to discuss her undergarments and her sex life, though neither was relevant to the case.
After the woman filed a complaint about his behavior, the judge launched his own investigation into her private life and used his power to influence the divorce proceedings. She also states that he also had court personnel write false documents to the commission attacking her and insisting the judge did nothing wrong.
As a result of judge’s actions, the woman claims that she suffered loss of income, reputation, inconvenience, insult, mental distress, embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, emotional pain and suffering. She is now seeking punitive damages. I always wondered what went on behind closed robes…
