GOP Judge Accused of Courthouse Threesomes: “Remember Who You Are and Whom You Serve”

Another GOP elected official is facing impeachment. Justice Dawn Gentry, a Republican, is facing nine charges by Kentucky’s Judicial Conduct Commission. If the allegations are proven, Judge Gentry will likely face impeachment by the GOP-led Kentucky General Assembly.

Investigators allege that problems arose after Judge Gentry brought a former pastor and current guitar player, Stephen Penrose, to her chambers.
Investigators allege that the couple used the courthouse like a swingers’ club.

A Cincinnati news outlet reports that the pair allegedly had a threesome with Gentry’s secretary, Laura Aubrey.

The pair, who play in a band together, also allegedly propositioned an attorney for another threesome.

These allegation arise a month after three GOP judges in Indiana were suspended for a night of heavy drinking and patronizing a strip club. One of the judges, Andrew Adams, has publicly admitted that the charges have merit, apologized, and asked for forgiveness.

Two years ago, Judge Alex Kozinski, appointed by Ronald Reagan, resigned after credible complaints came forward from female clerks alleging that his computer at work featured pornographic images and his behavior made them feel uncomfortable.

I looked for Democratic judges who fit this pattern of misconduct. For now, I cannot find examples but I welcome readers to send them along.

In the meantime, Christianity Today is making national headlines for a blistering rebuke of President Trump. The editorial makes this simple point: “Remember who you are and whom you serve.” That phrase was likely a reference to serving Jesus Christ, but it fits just as well for serving the public.
