Former Kentucky Sheriff Claims Judge Operated Brothel Amid Murder Trial The high-profile murder trial of former Kentucky sheriff Shawn Stines has taken a shocking turn as his defense team builds a case alleging that slain U.S. District Judge Kevin Mullins was involved in illicit activities within his chambers. Stines, who was charged with fatally shooting Mullins in his chambers, claims the killing was tied to revelations of corruption and misconduct. The accusations against Mullins were first brought to light during the criminal investigation of former deputy sheriff Ben Fields. Fields was convicted earlier this year on charges of rape, sodomy, perjury, and tampering with a prisoner monitoring device. As part of that investigation, witness Sabrina Adkins alleged in a police interview that Mullins exchanged legal leniency for sexual favors and allowed his chambers to be used for sexual misconduct. Adkins detailed her claims in an audio recording obtained by NewsNation. "He does have some videotapes of some stuff in the judge's chambers," she said. "Just with girls, sexual and stuff. I've seen one partly." She further alleged that Fields coerced her into performing sexual acts in the judge's chambers, promising to tamper with her ankle monitor to keep her out of jail. These allegations form the backbone of a civil lawsuit Adkins filed in January 2022. In the lawsuit, she accused Mullins and Fields of using the judge's chambers as a location to carry out assaults and other illicit activities. “There were no cameras,” the lawsuit stated, describing the chambers as a secluded area exploited by those in positions of power. Three days before the fatal shooting, Stines, a longtime friend of Mullins, was deposed in Adkins' lawsuit. His attorney, Jeremy Bartley, has indicated that Adkins' allegations and the findings from Fields' case are central to the defense. “This is a large story. It's a story that, in some ways, is difficult to tell,” Bartley said during a recent court hearing. He described the accusations against Mullins as “crucial” to understanding Stines' actions. Adkins' lawsuit further alleges that Fields used his authority as a deputy sheriff to intimidate her and others into compliance. The chambers, she claims, became a hub for illegal activities due to their lack of surveillance. “Fields assaulted me there more than once, and Mullins knew,” Adkins wrote in her lawsuit. Fields' conviction earlier this year has already exposed significant corruption within the local justice system. Now, with the murder of Mullins, the spotlight has intensified on the alleged abuse of power by judicial officials. The revelations have sparked national discussions about systemic corruption and the unchecked authority of public servants. Stines remains in custody, and his trial is expected to delve deeper into the disturbing allegations surrounding Judge Mullins. The case continues to draw national attention, as it raises broader questions about the integrity of the judicial system and the lengths to which individuals might go to expose corruption. #CorruptionScandal #KentuckyNews #JudgeMisconduct #ShockingRevelations #JusticeSystemReform #HighProfileTrial #BreakingNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
