It concerns me that this Judge who has admitted to engaging in non-consensual sexual contact with both ladies could get such a low sentence (reportedly recommended to be three years) for his obstruction of justice charge. Will this be served in a country club federal prison? With good behavior he might just serve one year. To make it easier for folks to see that Judge Kent admitted to non-consensual sexual contact with both of his employees, I have attached parts of the Plea Bargain and the Factual Basis for Plea. In the Plea Agreement, item 5 states "The defendant agrees that the attached 'Factual Baisis for Plea' fairly and accurately describes the defendant's actions and involvement in the offense to which the defendant is pleading guilty. The defendant knowingly, voluntarily and truthfully admits the facts set forth in the Factual Basis for Plea." In the Factual Basis for Plea, it states in items 4 and 5: "4. In August 2003 and March 2007, the defendant engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with Person A without her permission. 5. From 2004 through at least 2005, the defendant engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with person B without her permission."
