Attorney John Harkins of Fredericksburg, VA; pervert

The state of District of Columbia provided John J. Harkins with a law license in 1974.

The D.C. Court of Appeals found Johnny guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Johnny was convicted of sexual abuse. After he boarded the Washington area Metro and Orange line, Johnny took a seat next to Katherine Wesson, who was employed as an administrative assistant for the Office of Independent Counsel.

The two then engaged in conversation, discussing their various places of employment.  As the trip continued, Johnny moved closer and closer to Ms. Wesson, placing his hand against her hand and then her thigh.  When Ms. Wesson, seeking to avoid Johnny’s encroachments, got up to change seats, she felt him touch her buttock, after which she said to him, “No, you can’t do that.”

Johnny then followed Ms. Wesson to another seat, after which she moved again.  Finally, Johnny exited the train, dropped his business card in Ms. Wesson’s lap, and told her, “Give me a call sometime, baby.” 

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the D.C. Court of Appeals punished Johnny by gifting him with a complimentary admonition. 

As we speak (ca. March 2017), Johnny practices in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
