Ex-Judge Traded Vape Pens For Sex with Inmate: Sheriff

James Kenney, 75, was once a judge and is a licensed attorney. In early August 2026, the sheriff in Clermont County, Ohio, said Kenney met with an male inmate in the jail and smuggled in chewing tobacco and vape products. Sheriff Chris Stratton said Kenney later admitted he traded the contraband for sexual favors with the inmate. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy looks at the strange case and why the investigation is just beginning in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.
