Pretty sure this is not what they mean by getting fucked by the long arm of the law. Not even close.
The district judge, O. Joe Boeckmann Jr., was charged last November by the state’s judicial ethics committee for allegedly engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior with defendants in exchange for more lenient sentences, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Documents showed Boeckmann resigned after learning the committee had discovered thousands of photos showing men posing nude at his home as well as in court, Little Rock TV station KARK reported.

Boeckmann allegedly preyed on poor, young men, those afraid of losing their jobs or men involved in custody disputes, the Tribune reported.

He allegedly forced the men to be paddled, engage in sex acts and to have their photograph taken while bending over, according to The New York Times.

“He’s a criminal predator for sure, who has used his judicial office to feed his corrupt desires, said David Sachar, executive director of the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission. “I don’t know what else what you can possibly say about that except that he’s a sexual predator.”

The committee found evidence that Boeckmann’s behavior spanned over 30 years, back to his time as a deputy prosecutor, the station reported.

No criminal charges had been filed.

What a piece of shit!!! Seriously! As if going thru a custody battle isn't stressful enough..
 
Oh, look. The stereotype.
No charges because he's white, he's a judge, he resigned, and the pics were taken at his home which means they're assuming the women were willing.
 
Fucking sickening. I bet if women were the victims, the authorities would be more eager to prosecute.

I'm okay with it until i read the shit about custody disputes. If some shitbag criminal wants to perv it out with an old dude for a nicer sentence, big fucking deal, wouldn't even call that a crime honestly. But fucking people over when it comes to custody over their children, especially when it's a male victim and the system is already inherently unfair and biased against fathers, makes me want to throw up.

Wonder how long till the lawsuits start popping up. I'd be trying to get a huge piece from the state if i was one of these dudes.

Joseph Boeckmann resigned in May after dozens of men claimed he paid them to allow him to spank them with a paddle and to take photos of the red skin.

He pleaded not guilty during a court appearance in Little Rock on Monday.

Mr Boeckmann, 70, was later remanded in custody.

He faces 21 counts on federal charges that include wire fraud, witness tampering, and bribery.
[....]
The indictment accuses Mr Boeckmann of "corruptly using his official position as an Arkansas district judge to obtain personal services, sexual contact, and the opportunity to view and to photograph in compromising positions persons who appeared before him in traffic and misdemeanour criminal cases in exchange for dismissing the cases".

At least one of his alleged victims was only 16, the indictment states.

It has also been alleged the former Cross County District Court judge also allegedly had more than 4,600 photos of nude or semi-nude men on his computer.
[....]
The head of the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, which conducted the initial investigation, has called the allegations "if not the worst, among the worst cases of judicial misconduct'' in state history.

A federal judge sentenced a former Arkansas judge Wednesday to five years in prison — a stiffer punishment than prosecutors recommended — after he admitted giving young male defendants lighter sentences in return for personal benefits that included sexual favors.

Joseph Boeckmann's lawyer had wanted home detention for the 72-year-old, and prosecutors said he should go to prison for just over three years. After hearing from two of the ex-judge's victims, U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker said she had no choice but to impose an even longer sentence.

"He acted corruptly while serving as a judge. When his back was against the wall, he obstructed justice," Baker said. "That sets his crime apart."

Prosecutors said Boeckmann's pattern of misbehavior dated at least to the 1990s, when he was investigated while a part-time deputy Cross County prosecutor. Federal prosecutors decided against charging him after he agreed to give up his post in 1998.

Richard Milliman of Memphis, Tennessee, became one of Boeckmann's victims after being stopped for driving 5 mph over the speed limit four years ago, then forgetting his trial date. The judge summoned Milliman to his house and took photos of him from behind as he picked up cans under the guise of performing community service, then shot photos of some of Milliman's tattoos.

Milliman, then 23, said he refused to pose David-like, even though he was offered $300 to mimic the Michelangelo work.

"I've never felt more betrayed by the justice system," Milliman told Baker, imploring her to impose a longer sentence than the 30- to 37-month term called for in federal sentencing guidelines. "How can a mere 37 months be a means to pay back society?"

Boeckmann sat with his lips pursed at the defense table.

Prosecutors said the number of victims could be in the dozens or hundreds. Typically, the former district court judge dismissed traffic citations and misdemeanors in exchange for "community service" that, in some cases, required some young men to submit to photographs in compromising positions, but in others, required sexually related conduct.

Kyle Butler said he was also forced to pose for photos and was threatened with his life if he didn't recant information he had given to state investigators.

In a letter written before Wednesday's hearing — a portion of which was read to the judge — Hunter said that after Boeckmann had helped him following a traffic accident, the judge required him to routinely clean up a laptop computer that had been slowed down by a cache of X-rated pictures and videos.

"I had to do as he said. He held all the keys to my freedom," Butler said.

Boeckmann's lawyer did not want the judge to consider the 1990s investigations, saying the ex-judge's memory was such that he couldn't refute any allegations. Baker said she found the misconduct pertinent, given that FBI agents were told then by Boeckmann's secretary about her finding nude photographs of young men in his office.

The ex-judge spoke to Baker briefly and in a barely audible voice said he had tried to convince himself that he wasn't doing anything wrong. He later added, "I've had time to reflect."

Boeckmann had faced up to 260 years behind bars if convicted of all charges in the 21-count indictment. He pleaded guilty last year to mail fraud and witness tampering.

When Boeckmann left his deputy prosecutor's job in the 1990s, he was able to keep his law license — making him eligible to run for the bench. As it investigated Boeckmann's behavior more recently, and subsequently negotiated his resignation, the head of the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, David Sachar, demanded that the judge agree to never seek any elective office again.

Milliman said it was shame that Boeckmann had another opportunity to prey on more young men who would find it difficult to step forward.

"How are you supposed to talk about another man violating you?" said Milliman, who drew a line at how much Boeckmann could photograph at their only non-courtroom encounter. "Why wasn't it stopped long before now?"

Milliman and Butler were identified by aliases in court documents but both said Wednesday they wanted to speak openly about the judge's crimes.
