A married Oklahoma judge accused of having affairs with two court bailiffs says he should keep his job because sex isn’t as taboo as it once was thanks to shows like Sex and the City.
The state of Oklahoma is trying to oust Brian Lovell, a Garfield County associate district judge, due to the inappropriate relationships which allegedly culminated in him having sex with one in the courthouse.
Lovell, 59, admitted to his relationship with the first female bailiff which lasted from February 2011 to October that year and involved liaisons at their workplace during working hours, according to a June filing. He denies they had sex at the courthouse.
The second bailiff told investigators in March that she had sex with the judge in the backseat of her car, in a courthouse bathroom and on a new table in her courthouse office, The Oklahoman reported.
But Lovell’s attorneys sensationally claimed he should not be vindicated for the affairs because sex is ‘no longer the unforgivable sin it once was.’ They pointed to highly sexualized popular culture references including: Fifty Shades of Grey, Sex and the City, Marvin Gaye songs and Allen Ginsberg poems.
Fire his worthless ass. And fire the bailiffs too!
I don’t see anything that suggests the sex was not consensual, so what’s the problem? Has his wife expressed any objections? There’s nothing in the story about that and that’s really all that should matter, and that’s about their marriage, not his judging. What’s the issue?
The issue is people who should be looked up to having no morals or integrity.
