Former SSA ALJ Sentenced To Jail For Trading Sex For Benefits

A former Alabama Social Security Administration judge was sentenced to federal prison today for trading social security benefits for sex.
Paul Stribling Conger Jr., 73, was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison by U.S. District Judge Virginia Hopkins. Because of the additional one day, he will be eligible for early release. ...
Court documents show in 2013, Conger was presiding over the hearing of a claimant who was approved for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) monthly payments and benefits. The claimant, who is only identified in records by her initials T.M., approached Conger in Nov. 2013 about receiving her retroactive benefits in a lump sum of about $10,000.
The two then engaged in a sex act and other sexual contact that day at the federal courthouse in Tuscaloosa, documents show. T.M. and Conger remained in contact by phone, and Conger invited her to return to the courthouse later that month. She didn't go back. ...

  3. Go ahead and drain it. SSA doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone other than money. There are a few remaining Judges that do care, but SSA will not let them last. To hell with full and fair hearings, it's all about the numbers.

  4. A large number of SSA judges are in their 60+ and some even in their 70's. Senile, decrepit... Collecting dust and their pay checks. SSA does not give a damn.

  5. Wow, there's a lot of hate from comments on this blog. Judges in their 60s and 70s? The horror! Perhaps it would be better to have judges in their 20s? Of course we just elected a president in his 70s, with access to the nuclear codes. The anonymous poster that wants to "drain the SSA swamp" of "dinosaur" judges probably doesn't have a problem with that.

  7. I am assuming this charge was a felony because his sentence--one year and one day--is literally the least amount of prison time a judge can give for felonies in most all jurisdictions (usually a year of confinement is the line between misdemeanor and felony). Lovely.

  8. Was that wrong? Should he not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to him at all when he first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.
