A married California judge who openly admitted to fucking both an intern and an attorney in his chambers has won re-election—proof positive that in this country, truly anything is possible.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Scott Steiner was re-elected Tuesday to what sounds like the best job on the planet: As a judge, he makes $181,292 a year, has sex in his chambers whenever he wants, and, on multiple occasions, has overseen cases involving a “close friend.”

He beat his opponent, prosecutor Karen Schatzle, by about 12.5 percent of the vote. Her stance on fucking at work is still unclear.

But Steiner’s predilection for fucking at work became a matter of public record in 2012, when he was censured for for sleeping with both an attorney who had brought cases before him and an intern who he later unsuccessfully and improperly tried to recommend for a job with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. Via the OC Register:

The commission found that Steiner improperly inquired with his former colleagues at the District Attorney’s Office on behalf of the former intern – who was seeking employment there.

According to the commission, Steiner talked to two people at the District Attorney’s Office, after the former intern was denied the job. He asked whether they had seen his letter of recommendation, and what she could do to improve her application.

“Well, I guess writing a letter of recommendation means nothing,” he said during one of the conversations.

Steiner did not ask directly that she be hired, the commission said.

Incredibly Steiner, who is married with two children, campaigned on a family values platform. Here is one ad he ran titled, “The Importance of Family,” which does not reference the fucking at work.
