"9th Circuit's chief judge posted sexually explicit matter on his website; Alex Kozinski, who is presiding over an obscenity trial in L.A., acknowledges that he had posted sexually explicit photos and videos"

"9th Circuit's chief judge posted sexually explicit matter on his website; Alex Kozinski, who is presiding over an obscenity trial in L.A., acknowledges that he had posted sexually explicit photos and videos; He says he didn't think the public could access the site": The Los Angeles Times has posted a news update that begins, "One of the highest-ranking federal judges in the United States, who is currently presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles, has maintained a publicly accessible website featuring sexually explicit photos and videos. Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged in an interview with The Times that he had posted the materials, which included a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. Some of the material was inappropriate, he conceded, although he defended other sexually explicit content as 'funny.'"

Chief Judge Kozinski is currently presiding over the obscenity trial of Ira Isaacs, which is the case that is the subject of the post immediately below.
