Federal Judge Indicted on Sex Abuse Charges
A Texas federal judge accused of sexual harassment by his former case manager was indicted Thursday on charges of abusive sexual contact and attempted aggravated sexual abuse, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. A federal criminal investigation began in November 2007 after the former case manager complained about U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent. The judge's attorney has called any alleged sexual contact "enthusiastically consensual."
