SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A woman says she plans to file an official complaint against a Utah judge who called a man convicted of sexually assaulting her a “an extraordinarily good man” during sentencing.
Julia Kirby said Thursday that she wants the state Judicial Conduct Commission to know the remarks were “emotionally damaging.”
The panel can recommend the Utah Supreme Court reprimand or remove Judge Thomas Low. She expects to file the complaint Friday.
Low said last week that “great men sometimes do bad things” as he sentenced former Mormon bishop Keith Robert Vallejo to five years to life in prison for forcible sexual abuse and object rape.
