British Judges Fired for Watching Porn on Court Computers

March 23, 2015

Bloody stupid, as my English friends would say. It never ceases to amaze me that people think they can be naughty on work computers. Three judges were fired and a fourth resigned (the smartest of the lot) before the investigation was over.

CBS news was one of many sources carrying the story.

The fired judges were Timothy Bowles, Warren Grant and Peter Bullock. The U.K.'s Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said that the judges' actions constituted an "inexcusable misuse of their judicial IT accounts" and were "wholly unacceptable conduct for a judicial office holder."

To our own judges: Let's keep that sort of behavior on the other side of the pond . . .
