Atlanta Strip Clubs: Sentencing Memo Calls Disgraced Judge ‘Tragic’

Posted on March 3rd, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

… (CN) – In new court filings, lawyers for a former Georgia federal judge who pleaded guilty to using drugs with a stripper he met for sex described their client as “a lonely man in the twilight of his life [who] became entangled with a seductive prostitute more than willing to take advantage of his needs and his misguided impulse to be her friend and protector.”
     A memo filed in Atlanta’s District Court on Friday requests sentencing leniency for former U.S. District Senior Judge Jack T. Kemp. The 67-year-old has prostate cancer, a gravely ill sister also stricken with cancer and a mother with dementia, attorney William Taylor, with the Washington, D.C.-based firm Zuckerman Spaeder, states in the memo.

     Kemp pleaded guilty a month later, admitting to buying drugs for the stripper he met at the Goldrush Showbar in Atlanta and letting her use his government-issued laptop. The former judge had been seeing the stripper for six months before he was arrested because he bought drugs from an undercover agent.
