Wilcox, who in videos he recorded in his office, in court and in bed, allegedly wore judge’s gowns or dressed inappropriately, was also claimed to accompany songs that referenced violence, sexuality and misogyny. .
In the petition prepared by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, it was indicated that “The defendant (Wilcox), who shared this and other videos on TikTok, damaged the dignity of the judge’s office by displaying inappropriate actions and did not exhibit the expected exemplary behavior . of the judges”.
“At the end of the day, I don’t think anyone thinks these posts were made in bad faith,” said Robert Hille, an attorney for Wilcox, who is facing disciplinary action. It was said on the news that the case was thought to spark discussions over free speech. (AA)
