Kentucky judge accused of courthouse threesome is suspended

A Kentucky family court judge was suspended temporarily without pay after she was accused of misconduct, including having a threesome in the courthouse.

Judge Dawn Gentry, a family court judge in Kentucky’s northern 16th Judicial District, was charged with multiple counts of misconduct in November 2019 by the state Judicial Conduct Committee.

She was put on temporary paid suspension earlier this week, pending a final decision in the case.

Gentry is accused of coercing court staff to work on her judicial election campaign, retaliating
against employees who failed to support her campaign, and hiring a man she had a sexual relationship with, according to a conduct committee document outlining the charges. She denies all of the accusations.

"I see you have a favorable motion in your briefs, counselor."



So, wait, she is accused of "hiring a man she had a sexual relationship with", but who is the other person?

On edit:

Oh, this just gets better...

"The judge, who was elected in November 2018, allegedly hired her lover, a former pastor, and then allowed him to play guitar and sing in the office, “disrupting other court employees during the workday,” according to the court documents. A lawyer for Gentry said she didn’t realize his behavior was a distraction, the documents show.

Gentry, her male lover, and a third court employee, a woman, also allegedly engaged in sexual activity in the courthouse. Gentry denies this, court documents show."

I was at least hoping that the other person was her husband. Whatever happened to family values?

This is the hot hunk of burnin' pastor love:



This is great stuff:


Katherine Schulz sat on a panel with Gentry that was set up to hear cases about abused children.

She claims that Gentry told her to download Snapchat and then used it to ask her to seduce her now ex-husband, Brian Gentry, and also join her in group sex.

Schulz said in an affidavit obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer that Gentry was trying to have her sleep with her estranged husband so she could then pin her divorce on him being unfaithful.

She then asked Schulz to have sex with her and Penrose at a legal conference, she claimed.

She sounds like a lot of fun, though.

It's too bad we find out about these things only after the party's over.

I never seem to stumble upon some good depravity in progress.

On edit:

Well, not as often as I'd prefer, anyway.

I like how one news outlet which used this picture had to say that the two officers were not part of the threesome in question.

Did he have a wondering eye? Did he and the Judge have an affair while he was still married?

The situation sounds messy, but I grew up in church, it was not unusual to hear things about the peccadilloes of some pastors.

"The wife of Stephen Penrose, the former Bromley Christian Church pastor the judge hired and had an affair with, according to the charges. Brenna Penrose was a witness in the Jan. 3 temporary suspension hearing."

A male judge there was removed from the bench a few years ago after numerous incidents of indecent exposure to the ladies of the small town. The final straw was when he was caught using an electric masturbation aid DURING court. I worked with lady from that town who was in his graduating class. They grew up together. Said he had been a perv since puberty and everyone knew it. He was otherwise and outstanding citizen and apparently a very good judge which was the ONLY reason they put up with him so long.

But you’re right, it’s tough to find someone else who wants to, so I’ve given up each time.

Better you try than me. I am too self conscious. I could meet a drop-dead gorgeous woman that wanted to, and I would not be able to make it work.

That's kinda what happened here, right?

You see, if that happens to you, I'd be willing to help the two of you out, and then... boom... everyone is yelling about a "threesome".

I'll bet this whole thing is just a giant misunderstanding.

But I have heard of higher ups having sex in darkened conference rooms before they were interrupted. So, it is not just in retail that such stuff happens. I just am too self conscious to even consider doing it.

Of course that was before the days of people being called out for such conduct. If that happened today, both people would lose their job.

They were never qualified so I imagine it won't be long for them to reveal their poor characters.
