Pennsylvania justice in porn email scandal retires

A Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice caught up in a government porn email scandal says he is retiring immediately and plans to “embark on other professional endeavors and paths.”…

Seamus McCaffery wrote to Gov. Tom Corbett on Monday to announce he was leaving the seven-member court. The letter comes less than two weeks after the chief justice disclosed McCaffery sent or received 234 emails with sexually explicit content.

McCaffery’s two-paragraph letter says he’s proud of his service on the court. It also says he won’t seek senior status as a judge, run for a judgeship or be appointed to the bench.

The state’s Judicial Conduct Board says it’s ending an investigation of the Democrat, because the most serious possible penalty is removal from office and prohibition from holding future judicial office.
