The Kentucky sheriff who just killed a local judge was sued two years ago after one of his deputies forced a woman he’d arrested to have sex with him in the now late judge’s chambers. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/c...

Suit alleges Kentucky deputy forced woman to have sex in judge's chamber in lieu of fees

A woman has filed a federal lawsuit accusing a Letcher County deputy of coercing her into sex after she couldn't afford to pay for home incarceration.

There is no reason why police should have access to chambers area and especially the individual chambers of a judge. Ever.

Who is the "him" referred to in this story? The deputy? or the sheriff? 🤔

Good to see the lead county prosecutor is going to recuse himself from this case because his brother in law was the victim. No conflict of interest before this... www.cbc.ca/news/world/k...

Lead county prosecutor Matt Butler described an outpouring of sympathy as he recused himself and his office from investigations in the shooting, citing social and family ties to Mullins.
"We all know each other here … Anyone from Letcher County would tell you that Judge Mullins and I married sisters and that we have children who are first cousins but act like siblings," Butler said in statement from his office. "For that reason, among others, I have already taken steps to recuse myself and my entire office."
