A glamorous Louisiana judge has been booted off the bench after being caught out in a string of outrageous lies, including about her own military service.
Baton Rouge Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts was removed from her role by the Louisiana Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote, as she was found to have fabricated her background while campaigning to become a judge in 2020.
Foxworth-Roberts became the first judge removed from the bench in Louisiana in 16 years, as justices condemned her 'tortured explanations and excuses' while under investigation.
Central to the fabrications that the judge pushed was claims that she was a veteran of Operation Desert Storm - the name for the US-led Gulf War in the early 1990s - despite being aged just 16 at the time.
In ads she ran while campaigning for the bench, Foxworth-Roberts wore military attire and claimed to have risen to the rank of Army Captain, and in one ad she said she was 'no stranger to being on the front lines during the call of duty.'
But during the investigation into her claims, Foxworth-Roberts initially would not approve the release of her military records, and when they were eventually released it was found that she never served in combat, and had never been deployed overseas.
