Comments on: You Had Me At “Hello, Your Honor”: Houston Judge Indicted After Allegedly Offering to Help Woman in Exchange for a Sexual Relationship http://jonathanturley.org/2009/08/30/you-had-me-at-hello-your-honor-houston-judge-indicted-after-allegedly-offering-to-help-woman-in-exchange-for-a-sexual-relationship/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Mon, 28 May 2012 12:14:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jason http://jonathanturley.org/2009/08/30/you-had-me-at-hello-your-honor-houston-judge-indicted-after-allegedly-offering-to-help-woman-in-exchange-for-a-sexual-relationship/#comment-268326 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 07:39:00 +0000 http://jonathanturley.org/?p=14237#comment-268326 At the time this took place the girl had the body and looks of Eva Mendes, quite a beautiful woman. This wealthy codger was in a position of authority over the young lady and tried to use that to get her into bed. He asked her to approach the bench at her hearing and told her to meet him for drinks later where they could discuss her case. Romanticizing the story or feeling pity for the old man is disgusting. Maybe its easier to put in perspective if you imagine some 60 year old man trying to get your young daughter or sister into bed in return for dismissing her DUI charges.

Well if you are a male and get screwed by the system, you can really get screwed literally and figuratively if you find yourself in prison.

Was he seeking to evade the law, or had he merely found what he thought to be his soul mate, the woman of his dreams? That he wanted sex was obvious, but as he explains it was to be in the context of a deeper, more heartfelt relationship. In this era of “one night stands” and people seeking merely instant gratification, are we too jaded to see a courtly old gentleman, who wanted “the real thing” along with his unabiding libido?

WOW is all I can say. Apparently the issue of impropriety is looming and the Judges Docket has been reassigned. I am glad I am not in his seat or unenviable position.
