A federal judge who was disciplined after an investigation found she engaged in sexual activity with a police officer in her chambers and then lied about it has issued an apology to a former law clerk for her "harmful, offensive, and unprofessional behavior."
U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, nominated to the bench in the Northern District of Georgia in 2014 by then-President Barack Obama, wrote in a letter dated Thursday that her "actions were patently wrong, and there is no excuse."
