A longtime criminal court judge whom colleagues hailed as a stickler for the law resigned abruptly after authorities discovered a cleavage-heavy porn cache on his work computer during a routine system check, according to a published report.
James Gibbons, a highly regarded former prosecutor, was on paternity leave after having fathered a child with a legal aid attorney 16 years his junior when authorities found the stash and seized his computer, reports the Daily News.
"There was a lot of porn on his computer – all young women," an investigator told the paper. "Lots of crotch and cleavage shots."
The 47-year-old Gibbons, who was not arrested in connection with the investigation, issued a terse resignation letter shortly after the bust acknowledging his 14 years in the Manhattan district attorney's office and noting he would be stepping down immediately.

OK, so they found porn on his computer, but why has he resigned? As long as it doesn’t feature children or animals, whats the problem?
"Miss, please file these briefs."
Pictures were of age and the opposite sex.
Let him go be a sleazy divorce tourney...he understands the behaviors involved.
He should have used his own computer.
“your tax dollars at work”
Summer of recovery ... looks like he was giving a few jobs ...
George Costanza: [pause] “Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time!”
Misuse of Government property. Most private employers would fire him too.
“whats the problem?”
In his case he is married to a lawyer.
Justice WILL be done, count on it. Not to mention extortion, infliction of extreme financial suffering, ad anuseam.
I'm relatively sure that work computers are supposed to not contain any inappropriate or unauthorized materials, which I'm guessing that porn violates that in at least one manner. Odds are also that if he had it on his work computer, it got there through the court's internet connection, which again probably violates a few codes of conduct.
If it was on a personally owned computer, and he was using his own network connection to download it, wouldn't care much either.
Cleavage heavy...wasn’t a leg man.
>> “Lots of crotch and cleavage shots.”
Its porn. That’s kinda the idea. Could be worse ... at least it was adults ... even better, adult women.
Just keep it at home, judge.

Busty Female Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?
Lt. Frank Drebin: Well, it's very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions.
Haha!

LOL #8!
He may not be able to define it, but he knows it when he sees it.
EVERY TIME he sees it!
It was women. You don’t want a heterosexual on the bench, do you?
Love the Costanza analogy!
The guy was an idiot for doing this on his work computer and on the taxpayers dime. Gotta love the quote, though, from the investigator saying the porn featured “young women”. Doesn’t most porn, even legal porn, feature relatively young women in any event?
lol
