Federal judge in Alaska resigned after sexual misconduct probe, panel says
- A federal judge in Alaska who abruptly resigned last week subjected his staff to a hostile work environment and engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a law clerk, a U.S. judicial panel said on Monday.
"The judiciary is entrusted to self-govern and, in doing so, must hold its federal judges to the highest standards of integrity and impartiality," Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Mary Murguia said in a statement. An investigative committee found that Kindred had an"unusually close relationship" with one of the clerks, and that a week after she began a job in a prosecutor's office, Kindred asked her out for drinks, kissed her and grabbed her buttocks.
