> A federal appeals court judge came under fire yesterday after a news
> report disclosed that he was presiding over a criminal obscenity trial
> even as graphic, sexually explicit material appeared in what he
> thought was a hidden part of his own Web site.
>
> Alex Kozinski leads the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, one
> of the nation's largest and most prestigious legal assignments. For
> years, the judge has drawn notice for his wide-ranging, irreverent
> intellect and his vocal support for the First Amendment.
>
> The Romanian immigrant was named to the bench by President Ronald
> Reagan in 1985, when he was 35 years old. Since then, Kozinski has
> made appearances on short lists of candidates for the Supreme Court,
> as well as a legal blog contest seeking "the #1 male super hottie" of
> the federal judiciary. Kozinski nominated himself for the latter post,
> and he won.
>
> The judge did not return calls for comment yesterday. But he told the
> Los Angeles Times, which reported the incident, that he did not think
> the public could have viewed the explicit photos and videos, available
> on a subdirectory at Alex.Kozinski.com.
>
> The material included a picture of naked women painted to look like
> cows, a short video of a man with a sexually excited farm animal, and
> images of masturbation, contortionism and transsexuals, the newspaper
> said. Access to the site has since been blocked, though records
> confirm it dates back to 2004.
>
> Cathy Catterson, the executive who manages the 9th Circuit Court of
> Appeals, said the computer server at issue is private property,
> maintained by one of Kozinski's sons, who downloaded "some but not
> all" of the images in question.
>
> "The bottom line is: The server and contents are a private matter, and
> it was not meant to be accessed by others," Catterson said. "Had he
> known, he would have been more careful of its contents."
>
> Legal ethics experts predicted that the disclosure of Kozinski's Web
> site would draw formal complaints from members of the public. But the
> code of conduct on Internet postings by federal judges is far from
> clear.
>
> As a federal judge confirmed by the Senate, Kozinski has lifetime
> tenure and could be removed from office only for an impeachable
> offense. Historically, a small number of judges have been publicly
> reprimanded and had their caseloads reduced as punishment for various
> infractions.
>
> The issue came into focus on the same day that Kozinski heard opening
> arguments in the obscenity prosecution of Ira Isaacs, a self-described
> "shock artist" who peddled movies that portrayed bestiality and sexual
> incidents involving urine and feces.
>
> Kozinski later yesterday granted a motion to suspend the trial until
> Monday after prosecutors said they need time to look into the Web site
> issue.
