COLORADO (KCNC) — A Colorado judge who accepted a public censure and resigned following accusations of sexually charged conduct at work is striking back at the state investigation into his behavior calling it “disproportionate punishment for the crime.” He is claiming state administrators wanted to embarrass, ridicule, and shame him for his alternative lifestyle.

“The investigation was overzealous and a waste of taxpayer dollars,” said former Judge John Scipione in his first media interview, “It could have been resolved in its infancy. This case is about a waste of taxpayer dollars and a vindictive, nasty witch hunt aimed at destroying a dedicated civil servant and his family.”

Scipione served as a magistrate in Arapahoe County from 2012 to 2017 and later as a judge, starting in 2018. But after a 30-year legal career, he agreed to resign with a public censure following accusations of inappropriate behavior with subordinates.

Scipione said while he and his wife are polyamorous, “We are not swingers.”

“ Is there a difference between a polyamorous married couple and a swingers couple?”

Yes. A true poly couple will be exclusive with the third person and the third person will be exclusive with them. They’re also known as triads or throuples.

Swinger couples have multiple partners, single men or women or other couples.

Don’t ask me how I know.
