Judge Anthony Mcginty has a long and public history of being an abusive Judge:

Upstate judge favored abusive men over battered women in custody cases, lawsuit claims

August 20, 2021

There are a number of publicized cases that reveal Judge McGinty's policies, practices, procedures, and standards are gender-biased, unconstitutional, have a disparate impact on women, and violate women’s NYS entitled equal economic, property ownership, and custody rights in contested Judgment of Custody Orders when domestic violence (“DV”) exists.

It is unclear why the New York Judiciary system assigned an acting Supreme Court Judge from a county far away [Ulster County], with a long history of being sued by multiple abused mothers for unfairly giving custody to abusers to a very public case about an abuser unfairly given full custody without trial (Walker v. Cholakis, 2019).

Judge Anthony McGinty, together acting in collusion with the current attorney for the child, Douglas Broda, and the father’s attorney, Leslie Silva, has acted with animus and malice, and has improperly and unfairly disenfranchised me from my children whom I have not been able to see for almost 2 years.

Both Judge Anthony McGinty and AFC Douglas Broda were named defendants in a Civil rights Action under 42 USC 1983; C.A. No.: 1:22-CV-560 (DNH/TWD), Walker v. McGinty et al, 2022. This was properly accepted on June 29th, 2022. This Civil Rights claim was accepted just a few weeks before Judge Mcinty held trial.

Judge McGinty refused to recuse himself from the Walker v. Walker case, despite pleadings from the defendant, imminently creating an unavoidable inherently biased trial towards defendant Alisha Clark Walker.

Judge Anthony McGinty had quite the affection for Sara Miller Hornick, the prostitute during the case. Often exhibiting bias and preference to the Registered Sex Offender and BDSM Prostitute. Judge McGinty’s imposed gag orders and temporary restraining orders on the mother’s free speech but not on the previously registered sex offender's father's or especially the BDSM girlfriend continued inappropriate adult behavior on her social media around the children and around the children’s home. Judge McGinty ignored all evidence brought forth by mother in his decision. This is a clear example of bias and violation of the mother’s civil (first amendment rights).

In the trial of Walker v. Walker, Judge McGinty completely and totally ignored and discounted testimony of the defendant's witness, Dawn Schlaks. Ms. Schlaks was an employee of family owned business, Clark Walker Studio. Ms. Schlaks testified under oath that the father sexually assaulted her on job. In fact, Judge McGinty said her testimony was “not credible.” This is just another example of Judge McGinty totally dismissing testimony of victims of abusers. Ms. Schlaks stated it took a lot of courage to face her abuser in court as a witness just for the Judge to completely ignore her claims was extremely hard and caused her PTSD.

Judge McGinty also ignored the fact that the BDSM practicing and advocating paramour Sara-Miller Hornick, continues to work out of the children's home and during the children’s vacation, running a BDSM sex worker bondage business, even as recently as the date of this recusal filing.

Judge Anthony Mcginty has used his position of power to intentionally inflict harm and pain on me and such extreme suffering for any mother to bear that cannot protect her child. To sever and rip apart a relationship from a mother and child and child and mother; when there are zero findings of unfitness who comes from a very stable home all we wanted to do was be protected from abuse. This constitutes cruel and inhuman behavior.

All complaints to the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct were ignored of course and as of today, he still sits on my case.
