Lawyer Convicted for Licking Client's Ear - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.
A Hawaii attorney recently found himself in a courtroom, as a defendant. The lawyer, Lawrence McCreery was convicted of licking a 26 year old female client’s ear during a 2011 meeting to discuss the woman’s child custody court case. According to prosecutors, McCreery touched his client’s arm, told her “You look so good, too bad you’re married”, and then made a strange noise, hugged her and licked her right ear. Lawrence’s legal team plans to appeal the conviction, but the judge said "Quite frankly, these are the actions of a dirty old man”.
McCreery isn’t the only lawyer to act lewdly. According to an FBI press release, a former California attorney pled guilty to indecent acts. While on a flight in 2011, the 33-year-old attorney exposed his genitals to a woman seated next to him and a flight attendant. When the man was told he was acting inappropriately, he responded by asking "Can’t a guy have his fly undone?". The lawyer had previously been in trouble stemming from a 2010 incident, when he touched the back sides of a female security officer and a Los Angeles court clerk.
