Federal judge had sex in chambers with police officer and lied about it, investigation found

A federal judge had an extramarital sexual relationship with a high‑ranking police officer, including sex in the judge’s chambers that staff say they overheard.
The judge initially denied the allegations but later admitted to the relationship and received a private reprimand while remaining on the bench; the judge’s identity was not disclosed.
Critics call the punishment too lenient; the judge agreed to write apology letters and accept restrictions (not become chief judge or serve on certain committees).
