Investigators concluded Judge Kindred created a hostile work environment by sending crude messages, engaging in sexual contact, and lying, leading to his resignation.
The Judicial Council found he repeatedly lied, violated canons, and failed to promote public confidence in the judiciary, with potential impeachment on the table.
Judge Kindred's unawareness of his problematic behavior caused suffering for at least three law clerks, leading to a lack of confidence in his understanding of the severity of his actions.
The judge admitted to lacking appropriate boundaries, crossing lines, and treating employees as friends in response to the investigation.
