[WASHINGTONPOST] Nine more women say that Alex Kozinski ‐ a high-profile judge who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ‐ subjected them to sexual comments or other conduct, including four who say he touched them inappropriately.
Kozinski, known for his libertarian views and colorful written opinions, already had been accused of subjecting several women to a range of inappropriate sexual conduct or comments, and the circuit’s chief judge on Thursday took the first step in launching an investigation into his behavior. The matter was assigned Friday to the 2nd Circuit judicial council.
The new allegations ‐ which span decades and include not just those who worked for Kozinski but also those who encountered him at events ‐ bring the total number of women accusing the judge of inappropriate behavior to at least 15.
