A federal judge who was disciplined after an investigation found that she had sex with a police officer in her chambers and then lied about it wrote a letter to a former law clerk apologizing for her “harmful, offensive, and unprofessional behavior.”

Investigation Findings

The investigation, initiated by the chief judge of the 11th Judicial Circuit, found that US District Judge Eleanor Ross had sex in the courthouse with a high-ranking uniformed police officer within earshot of staff, attended a partisan event, and initially lied when confronted with the allegations.

Ross was nominated to the bench in the Northern District of Georgia in 2014 by then-President Barack Obama, a Democrat. She received a “private reprimand” that didn’t publicly name her after the investigation confirmed the allegations against her.

Ross also agreed not to seek the position of chief judge of the district when eligible and to write apology letters to six former law clerks. Two Georgia congressmen have filed separate impeachment resolutions against Ross.
