TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A Kansas judge has denied making offensive sexual comments to female prosecutors and says that some remarks were taken out of context.
The Wichita Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/1gwAtu6 ) that Sedgwick County District Judge Timothy Henderson told a disciplinary panel Friday he will ask to be reassigned from his current position as presiding judge of the juvenile court system.
Four female prosecutors testified Thursday about the remarks before a panel of judges and lawyers in Topeka.
Henderson also is accused of sending a biased email about a Wichita attorney. A third complaint alleges he asked a Wichita school board member to inquire for his wife about a teaching position.
The complaints are being handled by the Commission on Judicial Qualifications, which helps the Kansas Supreme Court in judicial disciplinary matters.
