Traffic Judge Willie F. Singletary Disciplined for Indecent Behavior with Court Worker
A well known Philadelphia traffic court judge has done some of the unthinkable in regards to destroying his integrity in his appointed position. He's not only being accused of riding his motorcycle on a suspended license along with thousands in unpaid tickets, but he is being accused of even worse now. Traffic Court Judge Willie F. Singletary is accused by a Traffic Court cashier of showing her cellphone photos of his lower parts. The Pennsylvania's Court of Judicial Discipline made clear Tuesday in an opinion excoriating Singletary for "bringing his judicial office into public disrepute."
"We think that the public - even those members of the public who register the lowest scores on the sensitivity index - do not expect their judges to be conducting photo sessions featuring the judicial penis and then to be sending the photos over the electronic airwaves to another person," the court wrote in a 19-page unsigned opinion.Judicial system investigators began looking at Singletary after the incident became public and he resigned earlier this year.
In court filings, Summers said, Singletary maintained he forgot the photos were still on his smartphone. Philly.com reported that the court disciplining Singletary is adamant he is in the wrong, period:
The Court of Judicial Discipline, however, said it did not believe Singletary forgot about the photos: "Taking photographs of one's erect penis is a 'memorable event.' We also mention that they weren't stored in [Singletary's] phone for nothing - they were stored in his photo for re-viewing. What else? "A judge who intentionally grooms his penis for photography, and then intentionally photographs his penis for the purpose of display to others, had better remember that the photographs are in his phone lest they 'slip out' at some inopportune . . . time under circumstances which are likely to offend another person," the court added.Here's how the incident occurred which is stated to be on camera. The accuser is considered the 'opinion': The alleged incident is said to have occurred on Dec. 19, 2011 incident between Singletary and the 22-year-old female cashier occurred between 5:19 and 6:43 p.m. Singletary was night judge at the court at Eighth Street and Spring Garden Avenue.
It a was slow evening, and three security cameras - without audio - recorded events as Singletary, sans black robe, entered the cashier station and struck up a conversation with F. Singletary and F are seen looking at photos on each other's phones. At one point, according to the opinion, Singletary tells F he thinks she is a "beautiful young lady" and would like to go out and maybe have an "intimate relationship." "Whatever we do, it has nothing to do with Traffic Court," Singletary reportedly told F. "You're an adult, I'm an adult, it's a private matter." The opinion says Singletary began scrolling through photos on his cellphone. Between a photo of him with a female friend and another of his head were the two penis photos.Before his election, Singletary had accumulated $11,500 in traffic violations, and his driver's license was suspended until 2011. He later paid the fines, and his license was restored.
