Legal Sex Fiends
PervScan organizes sex crimes and acts of lesser deviance according to relatively accepted definitions of perversion, but you could easily formulate another kind of taxonomy that classed them according to the profession of the perpetrators. Every day in the news there are doctors, schoolteachers, and cops who abuse the authority of their positions by groping a patient, seducing a student, or swapping criminal charges for sexual favors.
Lawyers also belong to this white-collar coterie of creeps. For example, there’s this juicy story from Ontario of the judge who maneuvered a court employee into the bathroom off his judicial chambers:
“Somehow I ended up against the bathroom door. I was wearing thong underwear and a purple suit,” the victim told the Ontario Judicial Council inquiry. “I allowed him to take my underwear off and perform oral sex on me… I believe he said, ‘I pleased you, now it’s your turn.’ He leaned against the door and I performed oral sex on him.”
Perhaps episodes such as this helped to provide an unspoken motive behind the Canadian Bar Association’s recent rejection of guidelines governing sexual relationships between lawyers and their clients:
“Lawyers attending the Canadian Bar Association’s annual meeting were passionate Sunday in their rejection of proposed new rules and guidelines governing sexual relationships with clients. An overwhelming majority of delegates, including several of the association’s provincial chapters, dismissed two resolutions on the delicate issue as paternalistic, stereotypical and vague. ‘Who are we to impose a prohibition on falling in love?’ Montreal lawyer Chantale Masse asked during the hour-long debate.”
Since alanr, Link Researcher Extraordinaire, has — shall we say — a vested interest in the legal profession, PervScan asked him if he might like to comment on the recent decision by the Canadian Bar. “Actually,” alanr responded, “believe it or not, in the U.S. sexual contacts between client and attorneys are not per se prohibited, except in matrimonial and family law cases (I think).ÝA lawyer ‘has an utmost duty to avoid a conflict of interest.’Ý So I think that any lawyer who gets involved with a client will likely have his/her judgment clouded and should avoid it.” After all, he added, “this gives the term lawyers screwing their clients a whole new meaning!”
(Thanks to alanr for the links and thoughts.)
“not per se prohibited”
No, but can you be suspended, if not disbarred for such dalliance.
