As our loyal readers know, sitting Federal Court Judge Samuel Kent was recently sentenced to 33 months in prison for a bad habit: He just could not keep his hands off female court staff—even though his fondling was unwanted. Kent is the first federal district court judge to be convicted as a sex offender. (See our most recent post here and out prior coverage here here and here.)
You may also recall that Cathy McBroom—the primary object of Kent’s sexual attention and the one-time Galveston case manager for Kent who made the formal complaint that led to the judge’s criminal conviction waxed eloquent at Kent’s sentencing:
However, if you’re among those thinking that prison life will be tough on the bastard (who still makes a six figure salary as a judge), think again. Alas, The Fondler (as we think of him) will, according to the WSJ Law Blog, be sent to a federal correctional facility more akin to that arts and crafts day camp we were shuffled off to by our parents during a month one summer:

“Being molested and groped by a drunken giant is not my idea of an affair,” McBroom said. She said she lost her marriage, her Galveston position, sleep, self-esteem and more and asked Kent be sentenced so he and others will remember it.”

“Kent has been ordered to report by 2 p.m. on Monday to the Devens Federal Medical Center in Ayer, Mass., about 40 miles west of Boston. Click here for the Houston Chronicle report. According to the Chron, a Federal judge has not gone to prison since 1991.
“The prison — known specifically as the Federal Medical Center at Devens —[…] offers a variety of indoor and outdoor recreational activities that range from individualized hobbycraft programs to intramural team sports. The Inmate Recreational Yard and Activity Center includes a multi-purpose room, outdoor recreation yard, and an indoor inmate activity center. The indoor activity center is located on the recreation yard and is intended for activities such as basketball, soccer and floor hockey. A music practice room is also available.”
Yea! That's what I'm talk'in bout!!! What a lovely 33 month paid vacation Judge Kent—who will also get his $170,000 judicial pay during that time—has lucked into. Granted, no women to fondle and no booze, but he will be paid $10,000 more than the starting annual salary of a lawyer graduating from Harvard Law with honors. No doubt, that will take some of the sting out of any inconvenience suffered by The Fondler due to said lack of chicks and Jack Daniels. After all, $170K a year buys a lot of candy bars and ping pong balls in the prison commissary. (You know it does Holms.)
And who knows what arts and craft and music skills Judge Kent can learn!
Let this be a lesson to you kids: Don’t do the crime unless you want to earn $170,000 a year while doing the time! Not to mention you might be made to do hobbycraft!!!!!
