He said, she said.

I like the tags.

judge, court, sex, hand.

Being tactful isn't always easy.

Ireland says she suffered loss of income, reputation, inconvenience, insult, mental distress, embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety and emotional pain and suffering as a result of Moriarty's actions. She seeks punitive damages.

Such a nice way to put it...

How about: Ireland says she got mad and wants money.

Let's not dismiss the idea that our courts of law require a certain amount of decorum on the citizens' part, and, definitely on the part of the presiding judge. And that if you discovered during your own divorce procedure, that the judge was "getting himself off" while deliberating over your case, and singling you out in a sexually-suggestive manner. And no one in the system would investigate your claim, even with corroborative testimony from the opposition.

I'd assume you'd be similarly-outraged, especially if the odds weren't in your favor.

Outraged, yes. Angry, yes. Wanting to have him lose his job and a retrial, you bet!

Want to profit from it and get 'compensatory and punative damages' in my favor? HECK YA! I'm greedy for an easy paycheck.

Difference is, I can admit when I'm being greedy and trying to scam easy money that I didn't earn.
