An Ohio Supreme Court panel has recommended indefinitely suspending the law license of Franklin County Appeals Court Judge Tim Horton for having sex with a former intern and for vulgar conversations with a secretary that was peforming campaign work for him at his direction.
The panel says the incidents took place in 2013 and 2014 during his time as a Common Pleas judge. The full board issued a stronger recommendation than one from it's hearing panel, which offered a two-year suspension. Horton has yet to comment, but has previously stated his alcoholism played a role in his actions. Horton served ten days in jail after pleading guilty to three campaign-finance law violations in February 2017.
