An Eastern Shore judge, who had been on a leave of absence for more than a month amid an investigation into illicit images of children, took his own life Friday morning as federal agents moved in to arrest him. Judge Jonathan G. Newell, 50, was pronounced dead at 6:43 a.m. from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced. A judge since 2016 and before that Caroline County’s top prosecutor for more than a decade, he was to be taken into custody on federal charges of sexual exploitation of a child, prosecutors said.(Snip)The FBI interviewed several young males,

This sounds like something Our Dear Leader might write. FTA: "Before his page was deactivated following the police raid, Newell’s page contained many posts about mentoring boys. They included pictures from the campaign trail, the hunting cabin and wrestling matches. In March 2020, he posted about bumping into a 13-year-old neighbor during the pandemic. “Ordinarily to cheer him up I would have teased him, gave him a pat on the shoulder, mussed up his sweaty hair, maybe even sent him on his way with a little swat on the butt,” Newell wrote. “I think boys especially need physical contact: picking, poking, plucking—its part of how they communicate with one another and show affection, even if it occasionally leads to a fight.”

We had a judge here that was being investigated for child porn a year or so ago. He hung himself in his garage the day the arrest warrant was to be issued. He too was on leave and knew what was coming. Difference here is that this hushed even though many of us in law enforcement knew exactly what was going on.

A gay pedophile. Gays must be so proud. Nambla must be positively chuffed.

"...Caroline County judge killed himself." "She said agents approached the door, and she heard a loud bang followed by two loud bangs a few minutes later." ????

It is not unusual to see authority figures who are politically connected to get away with this sort of behavior.
The late Dr. William Garvey, president of a Catholic college in Erie, Pa., was friends with the mayor and police chief, and had a long history of pedophile homosexual behavior.
And when some teenaged boys called Garvey to blackmail him, claiming they had a videotape of him molesting them, the police showed up thirty minutes later, demanding the tape. (there was no tape.)
Garvey received an award from the Boy Scouts, honoring him for his fine work with youth.
His perverted kingdom finally collapsed when one of the victims, grown up, wrote a book about Garvey's perverted behavior, and even then, his college trustees seemed to try to ignore the book. him. And when he finally had to resign in disgrace, they gave him a year's pay, in the form of a sabbatical.
Garvey never faced criminal charges.

Sadly, I knew a popular judge who formerly had been the state designated prosecutor/lobbyist for the the District Attorneys Association. After the police served a search warrant for his chambers, the man left the courthouse and drove over a cliff. The subject matter of the search was never disclosed.

Must be a Democrat, else his party would have been proclaimed on the banner.

The first time I have seen justice coming from a judge, since Biden took office.

Why would anyone be up on charges for such a thing in Gay America, where anything goes? When the LGBTQ+ cabal reveals the pedophile "P" instead of the placeholder "plus," this story would have had a different ending.
