BUCHAREST, Romania -- A Romanian judge has been accused of very poor judgment for starring in an X-rated video.

Simona Lungu, 36, a judge at the Bucharest Tribunal, resigned Wednesday after being investigated by judicial authorities over allegations that she acted in an adult video that was sold in Denmark.

Lungu denied it was her in the movie and asked the Forensic Institute, a state crime lab, to help her clear her name by taking photos of her and comparing them to the video. Instead, the institute concluded it was her after all.

Lungu contested the institute's findings and asked members of the Superior Council for Magistrates, which oversees judges, to clear her name. They refused.

The council voted on Wednesday to accept her resignation from the bench, said Justice Minister Cristian Diaconescu. "The debates in the case are over," he said after the council's meeting.

3. Wouldn't it be nice...

...for some public figure, somewhere, with a past like that, to say "yeah, it was me, but that doesn't stop me from being a good judge/politician/whatever". Maybe then the marginalisation of people in the sex trade will start to abate.
