A since-suspended Brooklyn judge allegedly made appalling racist and homophobic comments about others while on the job, new court papers claim.
A New York judge allegedly made vile bigoted remarks while on the job — including saying homosexuality is an “abomination,” claiming Hispanic people have “deceitful traits” and accusing her colleagues of sleeping their way to the top, new court papers claim.
“I hate these gay white men … being gay is an abomination to mankind,” Thompson, who was elected to a 14-year term in 2018, allegedly said of other judges. “I do not like Hispanic people. They have a deceitful trait that goes way back to biblical times,” the court papers allege she said. The appalling comments included once saying a gay judge was “fat now, from all of the evil of what he’s doing” and criticizing a black judge for having blond hair, the OCA claimed.Thompson, who previously served as a civil judge starting in 2011 for a 10-year term, allegedly once said that a female court employee “is a prostitute … I think her boyfriend is pimping her.”
In December, the IG referred Thompson’s case to New York’s Commission on Judicial Conduct – the body responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct against judges and making disciplinary recommendations once their probes are concluded. The CJC’s investigations are confidential.
