A former California Superior Court judge has been indicted on federal charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a court employee, lying to investigators, and obstructing an inquiry into allegations involving a second employee.
The Department of Justice announced Friday that a federal grand jury returned a five-count indictment against 66-year-old Adolfo Corona. Prosecutors allege that on March 14, 2024, while serving as a judge, Corona led a 33-year-old court employee into a courthouse stairwell and sexually assaulted her. He is accused of later making false statements about the incident in interviews with the FBI and court administrators.
The indictment also claims that Corona obstructed an investigation into allegations that he sexually assaulted a second victim, a 43-year-old court employee. In December 2023, the woman was reportedly found unconscious in Corona’s chambers after being alone with him for approximately two hours.
