Forgive the site its linked from (vid is on there), but what the hell is going to happen to this judge who just sat there and made a pointed effort to ignore the situation? Setup for the whole wrongness is as follows, but watching the video to see what I mean about the judge is kinda needed.

Monica Contreras came to family court with her two-year-old daughter in back in August 2011. She was in the courtroom only a few minutes on a routine divorce case. Her husband filed for a Temporary Restraining Order against her during their divorce. He never showed up in court so the order was denied.

According to internal court documents, as Contreras was leaving when a family court marshal Ron Fox ordered her into a waiting room by herself for an unexplainable drug search.

Contreras said Fox touched her buttocks, breast, and ordered her to lift up her shirt. A later internal investigation by Clark County courts validated her claims. Contreras went back into the same courtroom and told hearing master Patricia Donninger that her requests to have a female marshal handle the search were ignored.

Contreras pleads as she’s being arrested. She was told the arrest was a result of false allegations against a police officer. After a six month internal affairs investigation, Fox was fired.



I would think the fact that you are a judge would mean you would feel some kind of obligation to at the very least tell the girl to 'shut up, and ask for your lawyer'. But just ignoring it to play with the little girl, especially when her mother is getting arrested for something that isn't actually real, is beyond me.

So Fox was fired? I would say that's a sufficient punishment for sexual harassment that didn't reach intercourse or cause any bodily harm.

His reputation is dirt now too. He will have ripple effects in his professional career from here on.
