Naked Judge Tries To Break Into Female Judge's Hotel Room

Half-naked judge caught trying to get into hotel room of female colleague

MAIL ONLINE - A judge was arrested after he was found naked wrapped in a bed sheet and trying to get into the hotel room of a female colleague. District judge Douglas Gummo got drunk then hammered repeatedly on the door of the lady judge he had just met at a legal conference in Pennsylvania. Police said the 42-year-old refused to take 'No' for an answer and when the frightened woman saw he was attempting to turn the doorknob of her bedroom door she called police. Gummo was found to be naked under a white hotel bed sheet and was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. The bizarre incident took place as Gummo and other magisterial judges attended a legal conference at the Raddison Penn hotel in Harrisburg. Gummo drank the alcohol on offer at the plush dinner until he was drunk. After the conference and dinner Gummo and the female judge, who has not been named, retired to their separate bedrooms. According to a police arrest report Gummo banged on the judge’s door after midnight, but was refused entry. He later returned and pestered the female judge to let him in. The police report said: 'Gummo returned a short period later and beat on her door for approximately ten minutes and attempted to turn the door knob. 'He left and returned on two other occasions beating on the door attempting to gain access.' The judge called police to the hotel and Gummo was arrested. Gummo, who has made no comment on his arrest, covers courts that include Alexandria Borough, Barree Township, Birmingham Borough, West Township, and Franklin Township.

Here come da judge! Dougie, Dougie, Dougie. What were you thinking? Apparently you weren't. Here's my question: The next time some frat boy pulls a drunken stunt that really doesn't hurt anyone, are you gonna show a little leniency? You better, since it's pretty clear you can't handle your own booze. Hell, we all do some stupid shit once in a while and I say as long as there's no serious damage, no harm no foul. Let's see how ol' Judge Gummo reacts in the courtroom. I'm watching you, you naked-motel-hall-intruder!

Judge Accused Of Calling Intern A Stripper And Grabbing The Breasts Of The Court Interpreter

Ex-intern adds to harassment allegations against judge

ColumbusDispatch - A former legal intern to Franklin County Environmental Judge Harland H. Hale alleges he frequently introduced her as "the hot intern" and once shouted to court employees that she used to work as a stripper. Carrie Radcliffe submitted a written statement that is expected to be made public today in support of a federal lawsuit filed in December against city officials and Franklin County Municipal Court. The suit alleges that the parties covered up or failed to act on complaints about inappropriate behavior by the judge. Radcliffe's 2006 internship was a traumatic experience during which she "learned nothing about environmental law in his courtroom but did experience profound disillusionment about the legal profession," she wrote. Radcliffe, now a 29-year-old lawyer, is one of two additional women who have accused Hale of inappropriate behavior since Brenda Williams, a former Spanish interpreter for the court, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court. In the suit, Williams says that Hale grabbed her breasts, used racial slurs to refer to her and otherwise created a hostile work environment.

Looks like a nice enough guy. Sounds like a total douche bag. We all know what's gonna happen here. Judge Jerk-Off is gonna get a slap on the wrist and be sentencing innocent people to life in prison just like nothing ever happened. He's a judge! Do you really think anybody in that powerful old-boy network is gonna screw someone else in the old-boy network? Never happen. All these judges do weird shit all the time and get away with because they know they have the power and the right friends in the right places. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Here come da judge! Bang.

PS - Harland H. Hale?  He's Triple H!
