'SHE LIKES THE HOLE BETTER THAN THE POLE': JUDGE REMOVED FOR SEXUAL COMMENTS

The judge told one lawyer: “I’d like to watch you golf.” When the attorney noted
the judge shouldn’t want to watch her golf, since she was not good at the sport,
the judge replied, “That’s not why I want to watch you.”

The New York Court of Appeals ordered the removal of an upstate judge who had
joked to attorneys about his ex-wife’s sexual preferences, among other
inappropriate sexual comments, and had exposed a firearm in the courthouse.

The 6-0 Court of Appeals order, for which Judge Jenny Rivera didn’t take part,
came on the heels of a determination by the New York State Commission on
Judicial Conduct in February that Jeremy L. Persons, a justice of Guilford Town
Court in Chenango County, should be removed from office.
