The Judicial Conduct Board filed a formal complaint against District Justice John Hasay based upon allegations that (1) he engaged in nonconsensual sexual relations, (2) improperly detained a minor in his home, and (3) maintained unlawful possession of marijuana in his home. The issues raised were whether the sexual relationship had been consensual, whether his detention of the minor constituted sanctionable conduct, and whether the possession of marijuana was unlawful. The Court concluded that the Board did not prove by clear and convincing evidence that Hasay had engaged in conduct which would subject him to discipline, and dismissed the Complaint.
