A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama has been identified as the official caught having sex in her chambers with a high-ranking law enforcement officer during business hours.
Citing a person familiar with the investigation, Bloomberg Law <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/eleanor-ross-of-atlanta-is-judge-reprimanded-for-sex-in-chambers-94">reported</a> Thursday that U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-judge-gets-slap-on-wrist-after-chambers-sex-scandal-with-police-officer?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Federal+Judge+Gets+Slap+On+Wrist+After+Chambers+Sex+Scandal+With+Police+Officer">received</a> a “private reprimand” from the court’s disciplinary panel for engaging “in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking law enforcement officer.” 
The panel said the judge had “sexual intercourse in the judge’s chambers during business hours within hearing distance of staff,” but did not identify Ross by name. 
Ross was <a href="https://x.com/MarcoPolo501c3/status/2060041718410416290">first identified</a> as the judge involved by Marco Polo, a watchdog organization known for publishing material related to Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop. 
The Atlanta-based judge did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. 
An investigation into Ross began in September 2025 after a court clerk reported hearing “kissing sounds and other noises consistent with intimate activity” and “sounds of moaning” coming from judicial chambers. 
That investigation found that Ross maintained a sexual relationship with the law enforcement officer for two years, placing herself in jeopardy of extortion and blackmail. Ross was also found to have lied about the relationship and attended a partisan political event in violation of court guidelines. 
The Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability, which reviews complaints against judges, later affirmed the findings. 
Ross received a private reprimand along with an order to write apology letters to former clerks. She was also barred from becoming chief judge or serving on Judicial Conference committees. 
Obama appointed Ross to the federal bench in 2014. She was <a href="https://www.congress.gov/nomination/113th-congress/1231">confirmed</a> after advancing through the Senate with bipartisan support. 
During her confirmation hearing, Ross <a href="https://www.c-span.org/person/eleanor-louise-ross/75256/">called</a> her husband her “rock and source of inspiration in all of my professional and personal endeavors.” In her judicial questionnaire, she <a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Ross%20Responses.pdf">wrote</a> that “the most important attribute of a judge is integrity.”
As a judge, Ross has overseen several high-profile election-integrity cases and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reality-stars-todd-and-julie-chrisley-sentenced-to-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced</a> reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley to 12 and 7 years in prison, respectively. They were later pardoned by President Donald Trump. 
Todd Chrisley <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DY0ud-IlrMp/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1">called</a> for Ross to be impeached, writing on Instagram that “this corrupt judge who couldn’t focus on our case because she was to (sic) busy clapping dem cheeks in her chambers per the articles that are surfacing in the last few hours, she needs to be impeached and we will work with Congress and our legal team to see that this happens.”
During the 2020 election, Ross <a href="https://apnews.com/general-news-f7ef69c7f79ddc036a14f76a00a4870d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extended</a> the deadline for receiving absentee ballots to three days after Election Day. That ruling was later blocked by a higher court.
