Former Prosecutor Doug Godbee of Rogersville, TN; pervert, scofflaw

 
Until recently, Doug Godbee was the prosecutor for Hawkins County, Tennessee, which is about 70 miles southeast of Knoxville.
 
In mid-2011, Doug was charged with official misconduct for offering female defendants leniency in exchange for sex. What a guy!
 
A Hawkins County grand jury said Godbee “(attempted) to solicit sexual favors and in some instances (received) sexual favors from female defendants whose cases he was prosecuting. In return for “sexual favors,” Dough offered “reductions in charges and/or punishment,” the grand jury said. (Knoxville News Sentinel)
 
While appearing before Jefferson County Criminal Court Judge Duane Stone on November 7, 2011, Doug submitted an application for pretrial diversion rather than face trial for his serious misdeeds.
 
If convicted, Doug faces punishments ranging from one to six years in jail and a $3,000 fine.
 
Judge Stone gave the prosecutor 30 days to respond to Doug’s weasel like application.
 
Hopefully, the prosecutor will vehemently oppose Doug the Perv’s application. Furthermore, Judge Stone should send Doug packing off to the hoosegow.
 
To be fair to Doug, he’s not the only prosecutor in the U. S. of A who has so acted.
