New Jersey Judge Suspended for Viral TikTok Videos: A Cautionary Tale of Social Media Conduct in the Judiciary

This disciplinary action comes in response to the judge’s use of TikTok, where he posted videos described as “admittedly vulgar.” In these videos, the judge is seen lip-syncing to songs with explicit sexual content, often recorded within the confines of his chambers and while donned in his judicial robes.
