Tasmanian Judge Found Guilty of Assault and Emotional Abuse

Justice Gregory Geason's future on the bench is uncertain as Tasmania debates legislation to address judicial misconduct.

Justice Gregory Geason was found guilty of assaulting and emotionally abusing his former partner, resulting in a concussion and extensive bruising.
The court described Geason's evidence as 'contrived and implausible,' while the victim was deemed a credible witness.
Geason's conduct included physical assault, coercive control, and violating a family violence order.
Tasmanian government is moving forward with legislation to establish judicial commissions that could suspend judges charged with serious offenses.
Calls for Geason's resignation intensify, with legal and political challenges complicating his potential removal from office.
