Idiot Lawyer Suspended for Seeking Sexcretary

Wanted: SEXCRETARY!

In May 2009, a Chicago-based immigration lawyer actually posted this in the Chicago Craigslist "Adult Gig" section, seeking for a “sexcretary”:

Loop law firm looking to hire an [sic] energetic woman for their open secretary/legal assistant position. Duties will include general secretarial work, some paralegal work and additional duties for two lawyers in the firm. No experience required, training will be provided. Generous annual salary and benefits will be provided, including medical, dental, life, disability, 401(k) etc. If interested, please send current resume and a few pictures along with a description of your physical features, including measurements. We look forward to meeting you.

An interested female stripper applicant responded to the ad, which prompted the pervert lawyer to allegedly email:

As this is posted in the "adult gigs" section, in addition to the legal work, you would be required to have sexual interaction with me and my partner, sometimes together sometimes separate. This part of the job would require sexy dressing and flirtatious interaction with me and my partner, as well as sexual interaction. You will have to be comfortable doing this with us.

If you think you're comfortable so far, please let me know and we can proceed with the process. The next step is to set up an interview. When are you available to interview? I am free to interview today. Please let me know what your availability is.

Oh, it gets better! The creep lawyer further described the interview process:

Lastly, we've actually hired a couple of girls in the past for this position. But they have not been able to handle the sexual aspect of the job later. We have to be sure you're comfortable with that aspect, because I don't want you to do anything that you're not comfortable with. So since that time, we've decided that as part of the interview process you'll be required to perform for us sexually (i didn't do this before with the other girls i hired, now i think i have to because they couldn't handle it). Because that aspect is an integral part of the job, I think it's necessary to see if you can do that, because it'll predict future behavior of you being able to handle it when you have the job.

If you're still okay with everything, let me know what you're availability is and we can figure out a time for you to come in and interview. Let me know. Thanks for your interest.

After the applicant filed a complaint to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Illinois Supreme Court (the "ARDC"), the ARDC correctly recommended this attorney be suspended for one year. And on November 28, 2011, the Illinois Supreme Court issued the order of suspension.

Craigslist, I love you.
