The alleged extramarital affair involved 58-year-old Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia and Atlanta Police Department (APD) Deputy Chief Kelley Collier, a person familiar with the situation told Bloomberg Law. Atlanta\u2019s WSB-TV 2, citing several individuals familiar with the investigation, confirmed that Judge Ross was indeed the subject of a report issued by Chief Judge William Pryor.<\/p>\n

They allegedly had sex in the court chambers \u201cduring business hours\u201d across a two-year window. The alleged affair took place within the hearing of law clerks, according to previous coverage by the outlet. The Eleventh Circuit\u2019s Special Committee provided a final in December after a judge was named in a judicial complaint back in September.<\/p>\n

The alleged affair \u201cdemonstrated a gross lack of judgment\u201d and amounted to a \u201cchambers workplace that was extremely uncomfortable and troubling for clerks,\u201d according to the committee report. Judge Ross was verbally reprimanded in private, the person familiar told Bloomberg Law.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the committee noted that the judge \u201chas demonstrated a strong propensity for rehabilitation and continued diligent service to the judiciary,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

The judicial report said the police officer involved in the alleged affair \u201ccurrently serves as the commander of a certain division\u201d in their police department and has served since 1998. Collier is the APD\u2019s Community Services Division Commander and joined the force in 1998, according to the agency\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The APD said they launched an investigation Thursday. \u201cThe Atlanta Police Department has launched an investigation to determine if the person mentioned in the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of the United States, is indeed an employee of the Atlanta Police Department,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The APD issued a statement to Bloomberg Law. \u201cThe U.S. Court of Appeals has not identified the police officer as being a member of the Atlanta Police Department,\u201d the agency said via email. \u201cHowever, the Atlanta Police Department has made an inquiry with the U.S. Court of Appeals into the identity of the officer in question.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge\u2019s alleged misconduct \u201cstrikes at the heart of judicial integrity and destroys public confidence in an impartial, ethical court system,\u201d Aliza Shatzman, the leader of the Legal Accountability Project, an advocacy group for judicial law clerks, said via a statement obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n

Ross previously oversaw the highly publicized criminal case of reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley for tax evasion and fraud, and dished out lengthy prison sentences against them in November 2022. The couple was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2025. (RELATED:\u00a0Judge Lays Into Progressive Prosecutors Before Slapping Violent Teen With Tough Sentence)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Todd Chrisley called for Ross to be impeached on Instagram \u201cAnd now this corrupt judge who couldn\u2019t focus on our case because she was too busy clapping dem cheeks in her chambers per the articles that are surfacing in the last few hours, she needs to be impeached and we will work with Congress and our legal team to see that this happens, she lied and then asked for forgiveness for admitting she lied,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThis affair and her conduct was going on the entire time she was presiding over our case.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge agreed to pen apology letters to the now-former clerks who were interviewed by the internal Eleventh Circuit committee, according to the report. The judge also pledged not to seek out the role of chief judge or a position on a Judicial Conference committee during their career.<\/p>\n

Judge Ross was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014 and is a graduate of American University and the University of Houston Law Center, according to the Federal Judicial Center. She is married to State Court Judge Brian Ross of DeKalb County, the State Court of DeKalb County website reads.<\/p>\n

The Daily Caller reached out to Judge Eleanor Ross\u2019 court reporter and Atlanta Police Department Deputy Chief Kelley Collier for comment. The APD referred the Caller to their website in response to a request for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
