Herman Thomas resigned his circuit judgeship in 2007 after being accused of having sex with inmates brought to a private courthouse office.
The charges of sodomy, kidnapping, sex abuse, extortion and assault involve 15 current and former inmates at the jail in Mobile. Thomas' attorney, Robert Clark, says the inmates are lying and trying to ruin an outstanding legal career.
Herman Thomas had an enviable political record as a black Democrat elected and re-elected in a county overwhelmingly white and increasingly Republican. The respected circuit judge once was the Democratic Party's choice to be the first black federal judge in south Alabama.
Then his career collapsed under allegations that he brought inmates to his office and spanked them with a paddle. Later, an indictment accused him of sexually abusing male inmates in exchange for leniency. ...

His defense is kind of hard to buy, considering what a colossally-bad bit of judgment and huge departure from accepted standards it would be to have EVER been alone with an inmate in his office, let alone on at least 15 different occasions.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
