Shoe bomber judge's hubby nabbed in porno raid

A high-rolling Hub lawyer whose jurist wife is presiding over the case against accused shoe bomber Richard Reid was among seven men busted for fondling each other in a seedy Rhode Island porno theater this week, police and sources said.

Attorney Alan M. Reisch, a partner at the prestigious Goulston and Storrs law firm, was one of seven men busted in Amazing Express Video in Johnston, R.I., Wednesday night. Reisch, the husband of U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Judith Dein, and the other six men all had their pants down and were engaged in various sex acts when cops burst into the darkened theater.

``What they were doing was a public health hazard,'' Johnston, R.I., police Chief Richard Tamburini said. ``It's bizarre.'' The shop, which is listed on one Web site as a popular ``cruising'' spot for gay men, was known to police as a haven for illicit sex, Tamburini said.

``We knew it was a breeding ground for this type of activity but we never thought it went on on that level,'' Tamburini said. ``You expect maybe one-on-one but not seven guys.''

Among those arrested with Reisch was 57-year-old Edward Sherman of North Attleboro and Christopher Scott, a 30-year-old Cumberland, R.I., high school teacher. All were charged with disorderly conduct but Reisch and three others were additionally charged with loitering for prostitution for allegedly soliciting others to join the all-male orgy.

According to one longtime friend, Reisch, 48, has been married to Dein for 20 years.

HELLO NEWMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

In early 1994 someone made what I perceived to be a threat against my life, but nothing since then.

Indivduals I collaborate with have had threats made against them, and one of the individuals an attempt was allegedly made to push her in front of a subway train in D.C.

Best part of this is that in the Spring of 2001 the DOJ informed Senator Orrin Hatch that the DOJ was conducting an investigation into two of the U.S. Attorneys for alleged fraud (in a different matter) that I had sued for alleged racketeering in 1998.

The former U.S. Attorney for Maryland, Lynn Battaglia (who now sits on the Maryland State Court of Appeals) and her Chief of White Collar Crimes, Dale Kelberman.

I'm not an attorney, I'm a pro se litigant (self representation).

[Lion's Cub]

Good point. In fact, I wonder if this joint was raided because the DOJ wanted to make that sort of point to Judge Dein.

See #90-according to the poster, she's only a magistrate. The article called her "judge", and it never ocurred to me that she wasn't the district judge. My bad :(

They can't help themselves, you see. They have no free will. It's all society's fault that they crave to have strangers urinate in their mouths and smear themselves with excrement. We somehow force them to self-destruction. If only society would approve of and fawn over their evil behaviors THEN they would begin to feel good about themselves. We need to hallow their evil deeds so that they commit evil with only one person. Next we'll encourage rapists to rape only one victim, and thieves to steal from only one store, because we are sooo compassionate. /sarc.

Feeling good about yourself is everything......s-o-o-o-o true. Your analysis is excellent.

Apparently her husband had some self-hating need to undermine her (i.e., jealous of her success)-- that's the only way I can understand this.

He did donate $1000 to Lesbian Sen Cheryl Jacques(D-Mufftown). So there's some evidence of that self-loathing.

I do stand corrected on Bwahney Frank since the RI article mentions Reisch being from Arlington.

who successfully lead double lives - until caught.

Makes no difference.....she is still at the same level of emotional funtionality or in this case dysfuntion. Think of peoples emotional level as gears......all diferent sizes....different numbers of teeth on the gears.....different size, shape teeth on those gears.....all these gears are floating around spinning....you, as one of those gears are attracted to another gear.....you either mesh or the sparks fly and you bounce off in search of one that fits....we only develop lasting relationships with those gears that we mesh with....plain and simple.....whether one party is hiding stuff or not...people will try and make it work, gears grinding and sparking but the longer the relationship lasts the smoother the gears must have meshed.

Why the filthy steam baths, dirty porno movie shope theaters, public restrooms, etc. That is the part I don't understand. I mean, WHY? Don't homosexuals have HOMES? And don't homosexuals live lives that are basically normal and deserving of full societal sanctioning?

This is really sick stuff.

I feel for the judge-it has naught to do with her except that she may have been living a life without the full benefit of the joy of sexualfulfillment. Who knows.

At any rate-I agree with the poster above who said this may have been all about defusing a stituation that could have been fodder for blackmail. But it is sad, nonetheless.

That grown men do this kind of filth-without even KNOWING their partners is shocking, really dirty homosexual behavior. I hope they were at least using safety precautions, we know that at least ONE of these perverts was married. (I hope she has herself checked for AIDS. I don't really care what her nasty husband does.)

[pollwatcher]

You know how it is when you get a bunch of lawyers together - they can't help but "try" each other!

But seriously, (though I never seen it), isn't this how the "sympathetic" Tom Hanks character caught AIDS in the movie "Philadelphia?"

[eleni121]

Even worse. He will be suspended WITH PAY, receive free legal assistance from the NEA, and other suportive legal firms, probably free legal advice form the ACLU. He may be dismissed if the parents protest enough, and then he will find another job...you guessed it - teaching!

I went into a gay-bar once in California by accident; my son and I were driving west on Sunset, and I needed to use the "facility" really bad, but there were no gas stations or other public places close by.

I saw a "Neon" sign depicting a "cocktail" glass in a window of a bar and told my son to stop and let me out; I walked inside, saw a mens-room and made it there posthaste.

Having relieved myself and my eyes having become accustomed to the low-light level inside, I walked back past the bar and tables - all occupied by the strangest agglomeration of androgynes I'd ever seen.

[B4Ranch]

The thrill of being caught must have been wonderful. I'm sure it will be something they never forget. I am so happy for them.

[ValerieUSA]

You've got that right! This humiliation must be priceless for them. Self-loathing is not enough - got to have the rest of your family and friends hate you, too, after awhile. Satan laughs.

Why don't you do a google.com search on Judge Judith before you start to pity her. She was an enviro-Nazi and hardcore leftist while still in law school.
