Samuel B. Kent was a federal district judge appointed by George H. W. Bush. He was a powerful man at the top of the ladder in Galveston, TX. He abused that power by sexual assaulting the women who worked for the district court. When one woman came forward, he was given a short suspension, a coverup by the judges he worked with. However, her complaint triggered an FBI investigation that led to his indictment and eventual conviction and prison sentence. He was also impeached, taking away his salary and pension. He was the first district judge to be indicted for sexual assault.

Judge Alex Kozinski was Brett Kavanaugh’s mentor. A Reagan appointee, he spent decades on the bench and it seems likely he was sexually harassing women all along, but six women came forward in 2017, then another nine women. He resigned. Trump hired him for his legal battle with Twitter. Wikipedia: Alex Kozinski Washington Post: Judge…

Franklin Graham has a long history of protecting abusers from Roy Moore, Donald Trump, and Brett Kavanaugh. He said Ford’s accusation of Kavanaugh was not relevant even if it were true.

Bruce Barclay, a Republican who had just been elected to a second term as Cumberland County Commissioner, had several consensual sexual encounters with sex workers.

Cliff Hite was an Ohio state senator. He decided he wanted to have sex with a state employee and despite her repeated refusals he kept asking and asking, one time for over an hour, explaining that “I’m a grown man. I have needs” and talking about his sex life with his wife. He propositioned her nine times. He told her she would change her mind. She filed a complaint of sexual harassment that ultimately led to his resignation.

Brandon Hixon was a state legislator in Idaho. A ten-year-old girl told people for over a year that he was a bad man, but no one paid attention. When Hixon began dating her friend’s mother, she was afraid he would do to her friend what he had done to her so she went to her school’s counselor and police officer and told them what had happened to her. He began raping her when she was about four or five and continued until 2017. He forced her compliance and silence by threatening her brother…just in case his suicide makes you feel some pity for him.
