An Arkansas state judge who previously shared info about the actress adopting her son Jackson in an online forum now has been dismissed from his position.
A judge in Arkansas has been dismissed from his position after he leaked details about Charlize Theron adoption proceedings in an internet forum. Circuit Judge Michael Maggio was dismissed by the Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday, September 9.
The judge has admitted that he revealed info about the actress adopting a son in an online forum at Louisiana State University sports fans in 2012 by using a pseudonym "geauxjudge." The adoption proceeding, which should be confidential, was handled by another judge in the same division where he served.
The Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission previously stated that Maggio was suspended from his duties, but he would receive his salary until his term ends at the end of 2014. However, the Supreme Court decided on Thursday that Maggio would be removed from the position.
"We deem any further suspension with pay to be inappropriate," the order said, as quoted by The Associated Press. "Therefore, we order the removal of Judge Maggio from judicial office, effective as the date of this opinion. By this order, Judge Maggio is henceforth prohibited from holding any judicial office in the state of Arkansas."
