Eleanor Ross is the federal district court judge who was subject to a private reprimand for having sex with a police officer in chambers in earshot of law clerks, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Ross, of the Atlanta-based US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2014. She previously served as a state court judge, a federal prosecutor in the district, and a prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.

Ross and other court representatives didn’t return requests for comment sent Thursday through phone calls to chambers and via email.
