MONROE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge is facing charges after allegedly paying for prostitutes.

Monroe County District Judge Jarod Calkins was arraigned Friday following a State Police investigation uncovered evidence that a man matching the 41-year-old's description was paying women for sexual activity at a hotel.

State Attorney General Bill Schuette's office charged Calkins with four counts of hiring women for the purpose of prostitution and with one count of transporting a person for that purpose. The latter accusation carries a felony sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

The alleged trysts occurred in Monroe Township and prompted reports to police. Other 1st District Court judges have disqualified themselves from further proceedings in the case.

According to the criminal complaint, Judge Calkins set up accounts on the dating app Tinder, dating website OKCupid, and on Facebook to meet women for sex. He told them he wanted to be their “sugar daddy,” and said he would provide gifts and money in exchange for sex.

He also discussed engaging in BDSM, or bondage, sadism, dominance, and masochism, and women described to police violent sex acts that sometimes ignored the women’s boundaries, according to the criminal complaint.

The transportation charges are related to Judge Calkin using his Uber account to pay for the women to meet him in Monroe County.

The criminal complaint details sexual accounts in exchange for money with three women, each involving violent sex. One of the women said Judge Calkin ignored a safe word and instead hit her harder, and said that he “treated her like a ‘slave,’” according to the complaint.

5. Michigan judges are non-partisan.

7. I couldn't find anything either, but that creepy snotty pig face seems nothing but Republican to me.

It's been hard to find party alignment for me on a lot of judges, for some reason.

Maybe they are so accustomed to them blowing up and making asses of themselves that they have talked standard media sources into omitting political references. People like the Florida judge who brought his penis pump to work and used it during work hours. Or the judge who recently demanded his bailiff taser the defendant repeatedly. ETC.

4. Evidently, the way around this

Is to not pay them at the time but give them a huge payoff in exchange for an NDA years down the line.
