Judge Removed Over Sexual Misconduct Claims
A Chicago judge was removed after findings that he used chambers as a sexual meeting place with a court reporter and made suggestive remarks to female assistants. The commission found corroboration from four female prosecutors and others, while Spurlock admitted the inappropriate conduct in that aspect though denied most allegations. The panel upheld removal, with one dissenting justice urging a 12 month suspension instead.
