If he had denied it, would the JCIO have launched a full investigation of a consensual act?

I imagine it would be pretty difficult to prove a case one way or another when there are two witnesses, one who admits she consented to it, and the other denies it ever happened.

They wouldn’t have been so lenient if he had denied it and had been found to have done it.

The misconduct here would appear to be poor judgment in the choice of sexual partners…

Especially if from 15 years ago.

Actually, come to think of it, I really don’t care if a judge has sex in chambers today.

What’s the problem? I’m sure he locked the door.

Go mate. 👍
