The Manhattan district attorney's office is scouring the vile files to determine if criminal charges are warranted - and are checking whether any of the women are underage.

Gibbons, 47, already had raised eyebrows with his ethics-skirting romance with Legal Aid lawyer Jeanne Emhoff, 31, who he fathered a son with weeks ago.

Emhoff's Facebook page, which was pulled down Thursday, featured a photo of a man with a boy on his shoulder.

The porn revelation staggered the baby's grandparents.

Gives a whole new meaning to the words "all rise"

I'm glad he resigned though instead of fighting a hopeless battle.

sure that's why :lol:

but seriously, never use your work computer for porn.

Dude needed to lose his job just for stupidity above and beyond the call of duty. If you can't manage to not look at porn at work, you have real problems.

I thought you would love the fact he's a republican Redress.

And you call yourself very liberal ;)

Stupidity does not have a political lean.
 
Re: Manhattan Judge James Gibbons quits after massive porn cache is found on work com

Yeah my biggest problem here is that he looked at porn while at work, but I don't think him browsing porn in of itself is immoral. How hard is it to wait until you get home?

I used to work in corporate offices and it was common though. People would even bypass the corporate monitoring software so that they could surf for porn and joke around with their co-worker buddies about it. I'll never understand.

I did not even notice he was a republican. I figure things like that are pretty irrelevant to something like this.

I am surprised-most government computers block that stuff anyway

maybe judges have units without censors though

The judge couldnt just buy a cheap netbook and external hard drive? Such Fail

I'm not excusing this whatsoever and just have a question totally separate of the case.

How hard would it be for a covert agency to frame a government official by planting porn on his work computer? It wouldn't be that difficult would it? If our government got corrupt enough, is this a possibility? It would be a nice way to remove people in your way. No proof needed. Once something like this comes out you're finished. Your reputation is shot in the court of public opinion.

No I'm not advocating any kind of conspiracy theory. Just asking your opinion on how hard this would be to do.

not all that hard but since he resigned rather than fighting it I suspect he was a horn dog not a frame job victim

Really? I thought he was a Democrat because it was not gay porn.

Don't mind me. I'm just being a butthead tonight. :mrgreen:

I think it's safe to say he's been operating his unit freely.

id say it was safe to say he was watching OTHERS operating their "units." LMAO.

Sometimes it is much easier and/or wiser to not fight certain things [like, for example, a court case where the jail sentence is great enoguh where turning down a probation sentence deal to fight the case is not wirth it]. Doesn't make you guilty or not guilty inherently.
