TULSA — An unconventional judge has come under investigation because of accusations he was a customer of a massage business that was a front for prostitution.

District Judge James Caputo on Wednesday called the accusations totally false and political.

"Judges and public figures today are routinely targeted by people with political or personal motivations," he told The Oklahoman.

"It seems the more salacious the accusation the more press and attention the accusations receive. If ... such totally false accusations are being investigated I welcome the opportunity to address them personally and fully with any investigating body," he said. "It would appear to be no coincidence that such unfounded accusations are made less than three weeks before Election Day."
