An investigation by the chief judge of the 11th Judicial Circuit confirmed allegations that Judge Ross had sex in the courthouse with a high-ranking police officer, attended a partisan event, and initially denied the claims. The investigation was prompted by a law clerk reporting multiple instances of the judge's misconduct, including sexual activity during working hours and failing to properly supervise staff.
