Virginia Democrats Earmark $100,000 for Statue Honoring Late Judge Accused of Trading Sex With Convicted Killer's Mother for Legal Advice
Abigail Spanberger's (D.) desk—provides $100,000 for a statue honoring a former circuit court judge who admitted to having a sexual relationship with the mother of a convicted murderer while providing legal help in her son's case. Before he would offer advice, however, "I had to have sex with him first in each encounter with him," Church wrote. The accusation prompted the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission to place Ware on paid suspension and launch an investigation.
