HOUSTON (AP) _ A federal judge accused of fondling a former court employee was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on sexual abuse charges.

U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent is charged with two counts of abusive sexual contact and one count of attempted aggravated sexual abuse.

A former case manager at the U.S. District Court in Galveston accused Kent of twice touching her under her clothing and repeatedly making obscene suggestions during the six years she worked with him.

The indictment, first reported by the Houston Chronicle, alleges the criminal conduct happened on Aug. 29, 2003, and March 23, 2007, Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Friedrich said in a statement.

3. this guy is toast

This scandal has been brewing for some time.

He's like many other GOP appointees. These guys couldn't get laid at the Bunny Ranch, and when they get power, they abuse it across the board, including crap like this.

Good riddance to him.
