Last year, New Jersey superior court judge John F. Russo, Jr. was suspended after asking a woman seeking a restraining order if she’d “closed her legs” to prevent sexual assault. Following a misconduct investigation, Russo has been removed from his judicial position.\n
lerk, Russo was removed after the court found “multiple, serious acts of misconduct” on Russo’s behalf, including the time he let a defense attorney ask a sexual assault survivor about her past as a stripper and then proceeded to take over shaming the plaintiff on the defendant’s behalf:
“On the first day of the hearing, the plaintiff testified that the defendant “force[d] himself on [her] to have sex with him.” She described that alleged attack as well as other events of alleged domestic violence. During cross-examination, defense counsel at one point asked the plaintiff if she had ever worked as an exotic dancer, which she admitted.
Russo is also accused of asking a family division manager to reschedule a hearing regarding guardianship of his own special-needs son and reducing the amount owed in a friend’s child support case from $10,000 to $300, among other terrible things.A three-judge panel unanimously declared that Russo be removed from office, and absolutely no one will miss him, save former high school buddies hoping to duck child support.
