A former judge is.....charged with sexually abusing male inmates in exchange for leniency.
"...insists he is innocent and claims he was trying to mentor the inmates."
Where have I heard that before?
Isn't it interesting to note what the US source doesn't think is worth reporting:
Noting that each of the alleged victims is black, Patterson says jail checkout records back up inmates' claims about trips to Thomas' private office, and other inmates spotted marks after paddlings.
There also is other evidence, according to court records, including one inmate's seminal fluid on the office carpet.
The inmates also were able to describe in detail Thomas' unmarked windowless office.
