Judge Alex Kozinski, who for many years served as chief judge on the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, has reportedly been accused of repeatedly asking former staffers if they were aroused by pornography.
Heidi Bond, who worked for Kozinski from 2006 to 2007, said Kozinski called her into his office and showed her pornography on his computer, according to The Washington Post.
Bond is one of six former clerks or externs in the 9th Circuit who told The Washington Post that Kozinski, subjected them to inappropriate sexual conduct or comments.
The woman alleges that Kozinski would show her pornographic images and ask if she thought they were photoshopped or if the images aroused her.
Bond said, she would respond: “No, this kind of stuff doesn’t do anything for me. Is there anything else you need?”
In a statement 67-year-old Kozinski, who still serves as a judge on the court, said he “would never intentionally do anything to offend anyone.”
