TV judge says Governor Kemp should have removed Georgia sheriff who admitted to groping her

Kristopher Coody quit his job and pleaded guilty this week to groping Glenda Hatchett at a sheriffs convention in January 2022

A television judge whose breast was groped by the sheriff of a community in the US state of Georgia said justice has been served after her assailant pleaded guilty this week and quit his job. But Glenda Hatchett joined others who argued that Georgia's governor, Brian Kemp, should have taken matters into his own hands and forced out the Bleckley county sheriff, Kristopher Coody, sooner.

I'm going to go there," the Atlanta-based Hatchett said, according to the Georgia television news station WMAZ. Alluding to calls for Kemp to implement administrative measures which could have at least gotten Coody temporarily sidelined ahead of his resignation, Hatchett added: The governor, after men and women ... demanded the governor take action, he never suspended him."
