Attorney David Bell of New Orleans; pervert, moron
Unfortunately for the folks in the greater New Orleans area, the Louisiana Supreme Court gifted David Bell with a law license in April 1996.
Even more unfortunate was Bell’s success in duping the voters into electing him to a judgeship on the Family/Juvenile Court in Orleans Parish.
In June 2010 Bell the Perv (BP) resigned his judgeship immediately after the Louisiana Supreme Court temporarily removed him from the bench. In an effort to protect the public from the Perv, the Court ordered that he “stay completely out” of the Orleans Parish Juvenile court and any other facility run by the court, including a warehouse “intended to be used by youth to learn auto-mechanic skills.” (The Times-Picayune)
Prior to resigning, the Perv went on paid medical leave. In a lame attempt at levity, he claimed it was “for personal health reasons,” and that the alleged ailment is “for the most part treatable.” Obviously, the Perv missed his calling as a standup comedian!
On Feb 8, 2011, Tammy Griffith, former employee of the Juvenile Court filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Perv and six other sitting judges In Orleans parish. The claims in this lawsuit formed the basis for the forced resignation of the Perv and the orders of the Supreme Court as aforementioned.
At least six juvenile court employees told investigators that they had been harassed by Bell, according to the report issued last summer by the Louisiana Judicial Commission. Three of the six alleged the harassment was sexual in nature. (WDSU-TV – New Orleans)
Ms. Griffith claimed that in one incident, the Perv stated that he wanted to “get with her.” Despite being told by Ms. Griffith that she didn’t “fool around with married men,” the Perv did as follows:
Since the Perv resigned his judgeship, he will not receive any punishment from the Louisiana Judicial Commission. As we speak (Feb 2011), the Perv has not received any punishment from the Supreme Court in regards to his law license.
I suppose it wouldn’t be fair if the Louisiana Supreme Court disbarred the Perv. After all, he deserves the opportunity to earn a dishonest living, right?
And this is especially true since his application as a greeter at the Wal Mart located at 1901 Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans didn’t bear any fruit.
