A New Jersey judge who asked an alleged rape victim if she 'closed her legs' to prevent her attacker from assaulting her has been removed from office.
"Block your body parts?" he said."Close your legs? Call the police? Did you do any of those things?"
Russo said that he was not trying to humiliate the woman and instead was trying to help a “demoralized” witness on cross-examination and “get her re-engaged in the hearing.” His lawyer, Amelia Carolla, told a state disciplinary committee in July that her client was"remorseful.""Respondent’s explanation does not square with the record," Rabner wrote."Judges set the tone for a courtroom.
In a separate incident involving money owed for child support, Russo allegedly told the courtroom that he had known the defendant since high school and then reduced the defendant's amount from $10,000 to $300.
