Judge's Law Clerk Gets 4 Months, Loses Motor Home in Prostitution Case
A former law clerk to a New York trial court judge has been sentenced in federal court to four months of home confinement and forfeited the motor home he used to drive a prostitute across state lines to a men’s club meeting in 2005.
Michael Stebick, 61, also was sentenced to two years of probation, 250 hours of community service and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine by U.S. District Judge William Skretny, reports the Buffalo News.
Stebick has claimed that the judge for whom he then worked, Ronald Tills of the state supreme court, directed him to drive the hooker from Kentucky to a meeting of the Royal Order of Jesters in New York, Skretny noted. Tills also took a plea deal in the Mann Act case but has not yet been sentenced.
“According to Skretny, the victim in the case was put up in a hotel by the Jesters, with a sign stating ‘$70-an-hour’ posted outside her room,” the newspaper writes.
