Syracuse, NY — Family Court Judge Michael Hanuszczak kissed two employees against their will, asked them out for secret dates, discussed his marital problems and tried to convince one to serve on a political campaign, a judicial watchdog has found.

He then lied about some of his behavior to the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, destroying his credibility, the commission found.

Hanuszczak’s response to the allegations did not deny misconduct, but instead argued that his actions weren’t as bad as the employees were making them, the commission noted.

An Onondaga County judge for two decades, Hanuszczak, 64, of Camillus, retired suddenly, effective Monday, on the day his misconduct was revealed.

It's not until nearly the end of the article that his political affiliation is revealed. You guessed it! Republican.
