Impeachment sought against federal judge over alleged sex in chambers, lying to investigators
The resolutions follow a court probe that found she had an extramarital relationship, attended a partisan event and initially denied the allegations.
- On Tuesday, Georgia Representatives Clay Fuller and Andrew Clyde filed impeachment resolutions against District Judge Eleanor Ross following an investigation that found her engaging in sexual activity with a police officer in her chambers and lying to investigators.
- Chief Judge William Pryor of the 11th Circuit initiated an investigation that confirmed Ross engaged in sexual activity with a police officer in her chambers, attended a partisan political event, and initially provided false statements to investigators.
- One law clerk reported the activity after observing a high-ranking officer frequently visiting Ross's chambers. While six clerks recalled the officer and three overheard potential sexual activity, the committee found no evidence of abusive behavior despite descriptions of an "eggshell culture."
- Ross received a "private reprimand" following the investigation, and the House Judiciary Committee must now decide whether to initiate formal impeachment proceedings. A person answering the phone in the judge's chambers on Tuesday said she had no comment.
- Because federal judges are appointed for life, removal from the bench requires impeachment. Ross, a former prosecutor, was nominated to the Northern District of Georgia by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2014.
