A federal judge in Atlanta has been reprimanded after an investigation revealed she engaged in sexual relations with a high-ranking police officer in her chambers during business hours. The judge, Eleanor Ross, was found to have had sexual encounters with the officer, which were audible to staff members. Reports indicate that the relationship was not only inappropriate but also involved dishonesty, as the judge allegedly lied about the affair during the investigation. The judicial conduct committee upheld a private reprimand for Ross, raising questions among ethics experts about the possibility of impeachment inquiries due to her conduct.
