Judge who had sex in courthouse and attended political event agrees to exit Georgia election case
The judge admitted an extramarital relationship and agreed to apology letters after investigators confirmed misconduct allegations.
- U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross received a "private reprimand" after an investigation confirmed she engaged in sexual activity in chambers with a police officer, attended a partisan event, and initially lied about the allegations.
- William Pryor, chief judge of the 11th Judicial Circuit, initiated the investigation last fall after one of Ross's law clerks reported multiple instances of sexual activity in the judge's office during working hours.
- In a letter dated Thursday, Ross wrote that her "actions were patently wrong, and there is no excuse," conveying "deepest apologies" to a former law clerk she had previously falsely accused.
- Two Georgia congressmen filed separate impeachment resolutions last week against Ross, leaving the House Judiciary Committee to decide whether to initiate formal impeachment proceedings.
- Ross recused herself from a case involving Georgia election records after the Justice Department questioned her impartiality due to her attendance at a campaign event for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who prosecuted President Donald Trump.
