The Texas Supreme Court suspended a judge who was seen in a 2004 video beating his teenage daughter.

Under an order signed Tuesday, Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams is suspended immediately with pay, pending the outcome of the inquiry by the State Commission on Judicial Ethics this month, the San Antonio Express reports.

The order indicates that Adams agreed to the suspension recommended by the commission but does not admit wrongdoing.

Hillary Adams, 23, recently uploaded the 7-year-old video of her father beating her repeatedly with a belt.

Adams has not sat on the bench since the video went viral. It has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.

After the uproar over the video, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, in a rare move, announced publicly Nov. 2 that it had opened an investigation, the AP reports.

In a related issue, Adams appeared in court Monday for a day-long hearing regarding the custody of his 10-year-old daughter. His wife had sought a change in their joint custody agreement, and another judge imposed a temporary restraining order effectively keeping William Adams from being alone with his younger daughter until he reached a decision.

An order is likely today in that dispute, the AP says.
