NJ Judge Who Allegedly Hid Boyfriend from Cops May Be Fired
A judge who once faced criminal charges for helping her then-boyfriend avoid arrest is now facing possible removal from the bench.
A state judicial ethics panel made the recommendation Tuesday to New Jersey’s Supreme Court in the case of state Superior Court Judge Carlia Brady.
Brady was suspended in 2013 when she was charged with hindering a police search for her then-boyfriend. Investigators say she let him into her home and didn’t call police despite knowing he was wanted.
Those charges were later dropped after an appeals court ruled the man couldn’t be compelled to testify against Brady. She was reinstated last year.
Brady has denied the allegations and said she promptly notified police of the man’s whereabouts.
She has until Oct. 16 to respond to the ethics panel’s report.
