Judge Resigns After Telling Attorney to Perform Oral Sex on Viggo Mortensen

A judge in New York has been forced to resign after telling an attorney that he should perform oral sex on–and receive oral sex from–actor Viggo Mortensen. LeRay Town Court Justice John W. Hallett promised to vacate his office after the state Commission on Judicial Conduct filed formal charges against him.

Those charges stemmed from a complaint filed by attorney Terence M. Brennen in August which accused Hallett of sexually mocking Brennen’s participation in the 2017 Snowtown Film Festival–which was honoring “The Lord of the Rings” actor that year.

Brennen helped promote the festival in January 2017. For some reason, Judge Hallett apparently felt prompted to comment on Brennen’s participation in the festival later that month. The judge allegedly described the whole affair as “about the gayest thing I have ever heard.”

Hallett then allegedly told Brennen:

You and Viggo Mortensen should get a hotel room and suck each other’s d*cks.

Not content to let that comment be the end of it, Hallet allegedly made an oral sex gesture at Brennen a few months later. Then he allegedly patted Brennen on the cheek and said, “There, there little boy.”

He's looking for a normal to hide in. Someplace where any expression other than hostility or derision is "gay".
