From Daily Mail: A glamorous Louisiana judge has been booted off the bench after being caught out in a string of outrageous lies, including about her own military service.
Baton Rouge Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts was removed from her role by the Louisiana Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote, as she was found to have fabricated her background while campaigning to become a judge in 2020.
Foxworth-Roberts became the first judge removed from the bench in Louisiana in 16 years, as justices condemned her ‘tortured explanations and excuses’ while under investigation.
Central to the fabrications that the judge pushed was claims that she was a veteran of Operation Desert Storm – the name for the US-led Gulf War in the early 1990s – despite being aged just 16 at the time.
During her campaign for the bench, Foxworth-Roberts wore military attire, claimed to be an Army Captain, and said she was “no stranger to being on the front lines during the call of duty.” Investigators discovered that she never served in combat, and had never been deployed overseas.
While she fabricated her combat record, Foxworth-Roberts claimed to have played a role in Operation Desert Storm while working with veterans of the war at the Walter Reed Medical Center.
Foxworth-Roberts is also accused of falsifying information on a $40,000, 2020 insurance claim about a robbery.
