Judge Carl Sharp of Monroe, LA; alleged abuser, misogynist 

The state of Louisiana provided Carl Van Sharp with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from Louisiana State University (LSU) Law School.

In one matter, Judge Sharp and three of his fellow judges are being sued in U.S. District Court by fellow judge Sharon Marchman for allegedly coverying up an alleged payroll scheme dating back to 2010, and then retaliating against Judge Marchman when she attempted to spill the beans.

In her June 2016 lawsuit, Judge Marchman stated that Judge Sharp was protecting Allyson Campbell a clerk who Marchman had accused of fraud and document destruction. Marchman alleges in her lawsuit that Ms. Campbell committed payroll fraud and destroyed or concealed court filings. (Zach Parker) Marchman’s lawsuit states in part:

• “Defendant Judges’ acts of retaliation included, but were not limited to, threatening, intimidating, coercing, ridiculing, taunting, harassing, alienating, and making false accusations of wrongdoing against Judge Marchman.”
• “They also prevented her from performing her duties as the chair of the (court's) personnel committee which resulted in her being forced to resign the position which she had held since approximately 2005.”

All that’s left now is to see how long it takes Judge Sharp to admit his wrongdoing and agree to settle with Judge Marchman in regards to her pending lawsuit.

As we speak (ca. July 2016), Carl continues to sit as a 4^th Judicial District Court Judge in Monroe, Louisiana.
