Judge suspended for 60 days over affair with assistant DA
The 60 day suspension follows a ruling that Judge Gerard’s sexual relationship with assistant county attorney Boeke created bias and impropriety in the Johnson County courthouse. Boeke resigned effective in November after revelations of the mid October 1999 affair. The justices noted no evidence of defendant prejudice but stressed appearance of bias and loss of public confidence. Gerard apologized during a March hearing and urged a second chance for redemption.
