Creepy Colorado judge John Scipione is censured for telling clerk he was in ‘consensually non-monogamous’ relationship with shrink wife and that he liked to visit ‘ranch’ that ‘catered to his lifestyle’

A former Colorado judge has been publicly censured over inappropriate behavior that included boasting about his ‘non-monogamous’ lifestyle with his sex therapist wife and failing to disclose an extramarital affair.

John Scipione, a former 18th Judicial District Court judge, was suspended without pay in August 2022 .

The following January, the Colorado Supreme Court accepted his resignation after Scipione, 54, admitted to a year-long extramarital affair with a court clerk when he was a magistrate.

He was accused of using his position as a judicial officer ‘to seek intimate relationships with Judicial Department employees or court personnel’ on at least three occasions.

The inappropriate behavior emerged as part of a sexual harassment inquiry into Scipione.

He was publicly censured for the first time on November 19 this year.
