A court investigation reports that a federal judge had an affair with a police officer, including having sex in the judge’s chambers. According to reports, court staff became aware of the conduct, with one account stating the activity was overheard by staff. The investigation also finds that the judge lied about the relationship. In February, the Judicial Council of the 11th Judicial Circuit—which covers Alabama, Florida and Georgia—issued an order stating the judge will receive a private reprimand. Multiple outlets describe the judge’s disciplinary outcome as limited, with no public removal or major sanction reported in the available coverage. One outlet notes that potential repercussions may also apply to the police officer, though the officer’s name is not provided in these reports and specific penalties are not detailed. Overall, the reporting centers on the alleged conduct, the involvement of court staff in noticing it, the finding of dishonesty, and the decision to impose a private reprimand while keeping the judge on the bench.
