ALJ Goosens Arrested

From the Pensacola News Journal:

An administrative judge remains on the job and a fourth-grade teacher has been suspended with pay after both were arrested in Escambia County on solicitation charges, officials said Thursday.

Robert Goosens, 57, of Navarre is an administrative judge with the Social Security Administration in Mobile. ... [The two men] were charged with misdemeanors.

The judge and teacher were among six men and three women arrested during an operation in the Brownsville area that began about 6 p.m. Wednesday and ended about midnight Thursday. The operation targeted johns and prostitutes.

     Update: In 2011 Goosens' petition to seal the records concerning his 2008 arrest was granted by a Florida court. The order indicates that Goosens was not convicted of any crime in connection with his arrest.
