New Jersey Judge Faces Judicial Misconduct Investigation for Posting Raunchy TikTok Videos

Judge Gary Wilcox posted inappropriate videos of himself lip-synching provocative lyrics on the social media platform TikTok under an alias.
The videos featured explicit references to violence, sex, and misogyny and were filmed in inappropriate locations like courtrooms or while partially undressed.
A formal complaint has been filed accusing Wilcox of poor judgment and undermining public confidence in the judiciary.
Wilcox could face discipline ranging from a reprimand to removal from the bench depending on the results of an investigation.
The case raises issues around freedom of speech and the high standards of conduct expected from members of the judiciary.
