New Jersey judge who told rape victim to 'close your legs' is 'remorseful,' lawyer says
TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey judge who told a woman she could"close your legs" to prevent a sexual assault is"remorseful," his lawyer said.
When the woman answered affirmatively and said one method would be to run away, Russo continued,"Close your legs? Call the police? Did you do any of those things?" He also made joking comments to staffers about the exchange after the woman had left the courtroom, according to a report issued by an ethics committee.
The committee also concluded Russo violated rules of conduct on other occasions, including when he ruled on an alimony case in which he acknowledged he knew both parties.
