A woman who served as a law clerk to a federal appeals court judge who died in 2018 told Congress that she was sexually harassed by her former boss and that systems set up by the judiciary to report instances of sexual allegations are inadequate
The new allegations from Olivia Warren, a lawyer who works on death penalty litigation, came during a House subcommittee hearing focused on protecting federal judicial employees from sexual harassment. She described Judge Stephen Reinhardt as someone who"demeaned his employees, a man who demeaned women and a man who sexually harassed me." She recounted a series of inappropriate comments as well as a crude drawing displayed in chambers. She clerked for Reinhardt in 2017 and 2018.
In a letter to the Judicial Conference, Chairman Hank Johnson noted that a panel of judges had publicly admonished Carlos Murguia, a federal judge in Kansas, for sexual misconduct after the new recommendations had been released. He wanted Duff to come and discuss how the 10th Circuit Judicial Council had dealt with some aspects of the Murguia case.
