DETROIT — Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Wade McCree Jr. is certainly blurring the lines of his authority should a recent report by Fox 2's Charlie LeDuff turn out to be true.

The married judge, who recently received a censure related to the fallout of a 2006 incident in which he text messaged a shirtless photo of himself to a bailiff, is now accused of sleeping with and impregnating a female plaintiff in a child support case, LeDuff reports.



The relationship eventually went awry and McCree filed a stalking complaint against his mistress, Geniene La'Shay Mott, with the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office issued this statement Friday:

"Our office routinely investigates allegations of conduct that could compromise the safety of a judge, the court personnel and the public. Judge McCree recently alleged that there was a female that was stalking and attempting to extort him. Based upon our investigation it was determined that no criminal action would be taken against the woman. The entire matter is being referred to the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission"

When called for comment by MLive Detroit, a representative in McCree's office said he gone for the day and expected to return next week.

As the Michigan Supreme Court reviewed the questionable conduct of McCree related to him sending bathroom-born photos if his chiseled shirtless physique, into McCree's courtroom walks Mott, whom LeDuff interviewed.



"I met him as a litigant, a complaining witness in his courtroom, and he stayed around after the case was over and that's when the second half of the flirting started and we went from there and our relationship picked up," Mott told LeDuff. "It went from being a summer fling and just something to do to falling in love, promises of marriage, me getting pregnant, us buying a house together, name it."

LeDuff reported that he reviewed hundreds of messages between the two, at least one in which McCree acknowledges the impropriety of their relationship:

LeDuff said he verified the text messages came McCree's cell phone.

If that is true, an even more troubling text message deals with McCree negotiating the sentence he would impose on the father of Mott's child with Mott prior to issuing it.

Mott told LeDuff that she had sex with McCree "very often" on various articles of furniture in the judge's chambers.

McCree's attorney in the shirtless photo case, Brian Einhorn, has not responded to MLive Detroit's request for comment related to the matter with Mott.
