Arkansas Judge Accused Of Trading Sentence Reductions In Exchange For Sex With Young Men!
After new allegations surfaced that he used his authority for the last 30 years to sexually prey on young men charged with crimes who needed financial help or who were afraid of losing their children or jobs, an Arkansas judge resigned Monday.
When a state judicial commission presented him with new allegations, part-time Cross County District Judge Joe Boeckmann resigned. One case deatiled a man claiming he was taken to a courtroom, told to strip naked and photographed in handcuffs. Allegations were made public last year that Boeckmann had engaged in inappropriate sexual relationships.
Documents detailing the new allegations were provided to The Associated Press by the commission under an open records request.
David Sachar, executive director of the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, said, "He's a criminal predator who used his judicial power to feed his corrupt desires."
The former judge has not been charged with a crime.
