Judge solicited sex from male defendants
Judge accused of soliciting sex in exchange for sentence reductions
District Court Judge Joseph Boeckmann used his role as judge to seek "out young Caucasian male litigants," for the purpose of sexual relationships.
The report says Boeckmann at times told offenders to perform "substituionary sentences" and asked them to "contact him to present their 'trash pick up' requirements at either his office or his home."
"Upon the litigant presenting himself to Boeckmann's home or office, he then solicited sexual relations with these young men in exchange for reductions of or dismissals of their court fines and costs," Emily White, deputy executive director of the commission, wrote in the allegations report.
The commission also says in its allegations that Boeckmann's personal computers will be searched to follow up on witness reports that they contained child pornography.
