Mexican Judge Kicked Off the Bench for Sexual Harassment



MEXICO CITY – A federal judge has been removed from the bench after he was found to have engaged in sexual and workplace harassment, the Mexican Federal Judiciary Council said.

Rafael Zamudio Arias is also being investigated in connection with financial transactions totaling more than 4.49 million pesos ($326,453), a sum that cannot be accounted for based on his salary as a judge, the CJF said.

Zamudio Arias was the senior federal judge in the Second Circuit in Toluca, a city located about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Mexico City.

The judge was found to have engaged in the “serious conduct” of sexual and workplace harassment “against several and different public servants,” the CJF said.

Zamudio Arias’s banking transactions are under investigation because the funds could be related to illicit enrichment and illegal transactions, the Federal Judiciary Council said.
