Few records for men sentenced by judge accused of misconduct

WYNNE, Ark. (AP) A one-page Arkansas court docket says Richard Milliman was pulled over in 2014 for expired tags and sentenced to community service, which he completed about three months later.
Milliman, however, says it's all a lie perpetrated by a former district judge accused of sexually preying on him and dozens of other male defendants.
Of the 254 men Judge Joseph Boeckmann sentenced to community service over a seven-year period in one of three districts he oversaw, just 13 of the cases include timesheets and court records showing completion of the sentences, according to a review of documents by The Associated Press.
Several defendants including Milliman, who was sentenced in another district say they never served traditional community service because the judge offered them "alternative" sentences. Some alleged Boeckmann took photos as they bent over to pick up cans in his backyard. Others said he paid them to pose nude or spanked them with a paddle and took pictures of the red skin.

Also, when he's doing all of these things to these men, what assurance one of them isn't going to beat the crap out of him? Did he have guards there? Was he using state resources in this? Or was he just hoping that the power he wielded over these people protected him?
