A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that former Superior Court Judge Stephen Thompson should forfeit his entire judicial pension based on his 2005 conviction for having sex with an underage boy in Russia.
The Appellate Division affirmed a ruling by the board of trustees of the Judicial Retirement System that Thompson, a Superior Court judge from 1989 to 2003, should lose his pension based on his conviction on charges that he traveled to Russia to have sex with a boy believed to be between 13 and 16 years old.
