Spankings?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8290275.stm
The trial of a former US judge accused of having sex with male inmates in exchange for leniency is set to start in Mobile, Alabama.
Herman Thomas, 48, denies the charges, which include sodomy, kidnapping, extortion, sex abuse and assault.
Up to 15 current and former prisoners are set to testify against him at the jury trial.
He was once the Democratic Party's choice to be the first black federal judge in south Alabama.
Mr Thomas resigned as a judge in 2007 following allegations that he spanked inmates in his private office at the county courthouse with a paddle.
'Private meetings'
In April this year, he was indicted on more serious charges.
If he is convicted of the charges of kidnapping, he could face a sentence of life in prison.
Court records show that some of the inmates involved said they were checked out of jail for meetings with the defendant in either his car or in his office.
They claim they were abused during these meetings.
However, Mr Thomas's lawyer, Robert Clark, has said the alleged victims were trying to ruin his client's career.
In April, he described the situation as a "a high-tech lynching" and said it was politically motivated.
He said: "They don't like uppity black folks, and that's what they consider Herman."
Mr Thomas's licence to practise has already been suspended.
'Surprise'
He has previously said he was trying to mentor the inmates.
A former Democratic state senator and colleague, Bob Eddington, said: "I've always had the highest regard for him.
"The allegations were a complete surprise to me and everyone else who knew him."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a civil rights organisation, has said that Mr Thomas is being prosecuted because of his race.
The trial is set to last several weeks.
Spankings?
"They don't like uppity black folks, and that's what they consider Herman."
Here we go again.
Damn those Uppity gay black folks and their butt secks.
Looks bad for Judge Herman. Jail isn't an escort service.
Karl Rove and RNC must be involved, paying the witnesses, typical Repug dirty tricks.
See: Rove framing Siegelman.
If he gets convicted it might not be all that bad for him. He maybe the one getting spanked but after that business as usual.
For you, maybe.
Thanks for the buttsex reminder. You never fail.
Isn't it enough for you that the OP includes sodomy?

I'm just saying if he is convicted he will be around inmates again. Sounds like the perfect fantasy for this guy. Only if he really spanked,sodomized,sex abused,assualted those inmates.
I wonder if any of the 15 people accusing the Judge are black. I would think not since they said "They don't like uppity black folks, and that's what they consider Herman." They did throw the word uppity in there though.

I just found it interesting this is on BBCnews and not on main page of main American news sites.
To go to jail. The judge who raped inmates (allegedly).
I can see how that might be a fantasy for the inmates; I don't really see how it works the other way around.
Little hint?
I was going to say *you would know* but then it occurred to me that maybe you didn't know what you were talking about, or had one too many morning beers.
I figure butt ing is butt ing.

I had to look up aphorism. I learnt two words today.
Appointed by Bill Clinton, birds of a feather.
"birds of a feather"
yep, both targets of GOP dirty tricks
dirty tricks? I'd of thought spanking inmates was a pretty dirty trick, but ...
I mean let's face it they both got turned on be slapping es around who were under there thumbs.
