Judge Accused of Spanking Prisoners Resigns
Alabama Judge Herman Thomas, accused among other things of spanking prisoners has resigned.
The allegations:
Authorities are investigating allegations that now-suspended Mobile County Circuit Judge Herman Thomas periodically removed prisoners from Mobile County Metro Jail and spanked them in a room at the courthouse, according to courthouse sources involved in the inquiry.
Once inside the room, according to the sources, the judge would ask the young men to drop their pants and prepare to be spanked with what they described as a wooden or fraternity-like paddle.
The resignation may end his upcoming ethics trial, but an investigation by the District Attorney's office in Mobile continues.
