“The law clerk reported that, on multiple occasions, the subject judge engaged in sexual activity with a uniformed law enforcement officer in chambers during work hours within earshot of the judge’s staff,” the decision said. “The law clerk also reported that the subject judge failed to mentor the law clerks and edit their work, displayed visible anger to the law clerks, including yelling and cursing, and, on one occasion, told staff that the judge had ‘too many martinis the night before’ at an event for a District Attorney.” After the judge who was the subject of the complaint was notified by the chief circuit judge, they submitted a response that denied the allegations, calling them “outrageous” and “baseless,” the decision said. A special committee was then appointed to investigate the allegations, which included interviewing six of the judge’s former clerks and reviewing documents, security footage and visitor logins. It also included “conducting testing in a chamber with a similar layout to determine whether law clerks seated outside chambers could hear sounds from within; arranging forensic testing of a couch cushion in the subject judge’s chambers,” the decision said.
