Vandergaw revealed in court documents that she felt "trapped" by Kindred's request for nude photos, fearing he could ruin her career and personal life.
The investigation identified potential conflicts of interest in Kindred's courtroom, particularly regarding an Assistant U.S. Attorney with whom he had a flirtatious rapport.
After Kindred's resignation, Vandergaw admitted she misled investigators, acknowledging sending him nude photos at his request, revealing a troubling relationship.
The fallout from Judge Kindred's actions not only prompted a resignation but also led to a retrial for Hernandez-Zamora based on judicial conflicts.
