| Description | Alex Kozinski, a prominent judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least six women, according to a new report.
A former clerk who worked for Kozinksi between 2006 and 2007 told the Washington Post that the judge called her into his office multiple times and showed her pornography on her computer, asking if it sexually aroused her.
“I was in a state of emotional shock, and what I really wanted to do was be as small as possible and make as few movements as possible and to say as little as possible to get out,” Heidi Bond, 41, said to the paper. Another former clerk made a similar allegation against the 67-year-old Kozinksi.
Four of the women who made the allegations to the Post asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, according to the paper. The other woman who spoke on the record, Emily Murphy — a former clerk who worked for another judge on the 9th Circuit — said Kozinksi in September 2012 said she should work out naked at the courthouse gym during a discussion about workout routines with other clerks.
“It wasn’t just clear that he was imagining me naked, he was trying to invite other people — my professional colleagues — to do so as well,” Murphy said. “That was what was humiliating about it.” |
