An executive assistant in the Orleans Criminal District Court said she was sitting at her desk talking to the state office that handles employee health care benefits over the phone, when she felt someone else’s finger creep up her side and start touching the middle of her chest. She jumped, looked up and saw then-Judge Byron C. Williams running out of the room.

Moments later, while she was still on the phone with the same state office, the woman said she felt a hand cup her breast and start rubbing upwards. Once again, she was startled, looked up and saw Williams running out of the room for a second time, according to lawsuits the woman filed in state and federal court.


quote:

Louisiana taxpayers footed the entire bill for the $52,500 payment. Williams did not cover any of the settlement expenses.

“My client didn’t pay a dime,” said Ernest Jones, Williams’ attorney, in an interview Wednesday.

Qualified immunity. Heaven forbid cops gets it, but judges can.

In Louisiana, most judges elected after 2011 can only access judicial retirement benefits if they serve on the bench for at least five years. Williams, elected in 2014, barely made that cut off.

He had served just 5.2 years when he resigned in early 2020, according to the retirement system. That tenure included his final 18 months on suspension, when he could not preside over court because of the sexual misconduct allegations made against him.


He didn't even serve the entire 5 years and gets retirement for life. That and he didn't even have to pay the settlement. LA gonna LA

Is it? Maybe he was just giving her a free breast exam? That would cost hundreds if not thousand of dollars at a hospital.

So in retrospect this judge threw down the tubes his whole illustrious career, past education cost and sacrifice, reputation, salary and family values just to touch or rub a woman's breast?

Have people gone mad nowadays? or at they plain stupid? or both? I mean, who in their right mind would do such stupidity? it's a judge we're talking about.

Do you have any idea what these judges paychecks are at the end of the month? or at the end of the year? we're talking about 6 figure number here.

The other way of looking at it is he worked as a judge for 5.2 years of which 18 months were suspended but still paid and then retired with us footing this bill. He didn’t throw shite away. He conned the whole system.

As for your question whether we have any idea what he earned, well yeah, some of us actually read the article

Williams also continued to receive his $152,000 annual salary while on his 18-month suspension, according to The Times-Picayune.

Meanwhile there is some nerdy dude that knows the law who cannot even land a job doing slip’n’fall work for some ambulance-chasing mill.

I think we know what the distinguishing factor is.

Cops do have qualified immunity. They also will lie, falsify, and commit perjury to protect each other.

Is that why this judge did not face a criminal sex charge or just preferential treatment from the Sheriff and D.A.?
