Clallam County Judge Faces State Probe Into Child Sex Abuse Case Bias

Clallam County Judge Faces State Probe Into Child Sex Abuse Case Bias

The Washington State Commission on Judicial Conduct opened an investigation into Clallam County Superior Court Judge Brent Basden.

The investigation follows a complaint alleging that Judge Basden endangered children and domestic violence victims by allowing his ecclesiastical role in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to influence his judicial rulings.

The judicial complaint claims a broader pattern of Basden’s L.D.S. members obstructing law enforcement investigations and covering up sex abuse.
