HOUSTON (AP) -- U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent will be making judicial history when he enters a courtroom Monday - but it won't be the kind he'll want to remember.
Kent will join the handful of federal judges who have taken part in a trial as a defendant, and he will be the first to face trial on a sex crime charge.
The 59-year-old judge is accused of fondling two female court employees as he tried to force himself on the women and have them perform sex acts.
