The federal indictment unsealed Thursday states that the 2018 judicial discipline was tied to accusations that Carruth “had solicited sexual favors from women appearing before him as a judge.” On April 14, prosecutors say, Carruth met with the woman in his office, ostensibly about paperwork related to the case in which Carruth represented her ex-husband. However, at the meeting, the woman asked whether Carruth, as the presiding judge, could help her ex-husband in the case about the no-contact-order violation.
On April 18, the woman returned to Carruth’s office, prosecutors say. This time, she secretly recorded their conversation. At that meeting, she gave him the handwritten list of potential crimes. Carruth told her he would write them up in an official affidavit, have her notarize and return it, and then stash it in his home safe, the indictment charges.Article content
Carruth pivoted, according to the indictment: “The next step back from that is … do you have any nice lingerie?”Article contentShe refused him again, and their meeting drew to a close, the indictment states.
