On September 3, 2024, law enforcement interviewed [George Easton] regarding his involvement with VICTIM 1 and prostitution at his home. During the interview at [Easton]’s home law enforcement noted various decorations that indicated [Easton] had occupied a role as a judicial figure. [Easton] was shown photographs of the victim and stated that he recognized them. He also recognized the name, that she used as a nickname. He acknowledged that he paid her about $200.00 per hour to engage in acts of prostitution. [Easton] also had sex with other women when his wife was away in Florida. [Easton] stated that he would discover the woman by browsing through websites where they advertised. Regarding the victim, [Easton] paid cash and hired the victim multiple times beginning in 2021 and ending in 2022. [Easton] would request her to come to his residence to perform these acts.

Based on the statements of the victim and the evidence discovered as a result of the arrest of [Easton], he engaged in approximately six acts soliciting of nonmarital sexual gratification or intercourse during 2020 through 2023 with the victim who was contacted at 2936 W Kilbourn in the City and County of Milwaukee Wisconsin and his own residence in the 6700 block of 105th St. in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

[Easton] was included in the photo array because of the victims description of a “retired municipal judge” resulted in a LinkedIn page, titled: [George Easton] – Retired judge – Self-Employed”. The victim described the Judge being named, [George] with pocked marked face and gray hair combed over, who lives in a town house, near Racine, with garage doors in the middle.

The victim identified him as the Judge. she stated that she used to drive to the Judge’s house when his wife was in Florida. She knew this customer was a Judge because affixed to the wall inside the house was a plaque that identified his occupation. She stated that during the visits, the Judge wanted to role play. The Judge regularly paid her $300.00 cash for two (2) hours of service for her sexual services. She added that the Judge would text her phone a lot, rambling on with his messages. She last saw the Judge in 2023, making the total number of sessions with him around six (6) times. During these, she would not have to get undressed at all.

Easton’s two children are also attorneys. Michael Easton is the City of Kenosha Municipal Judge and his other son, Joseph, is a lawyer in Florida.

        1. This was a part of a broader investigation, but when they found the illegal activities they had to do their moral obligations

          1. With all the shootings, homicides, child abuse and reckless driving in Milwaukee including innocent kids dying from stray gunfire entering their homes the Milwaukee Police and DA are singlehandedly going to end the oldest profession and restore peace to the city? Not saying they shouldn’t do anything and the lawyer fooling around with a client is a major screwup but they need to keep things into perspective. The Asian massage parlors and brothels are hotbeds of human trafficking and yet they don’t do anything about them.

  1. Some of the descriptions of his conduct had a Clintoneque ring to it. But Slick Willie got away with it.

  2. Kevin, you failed to identify his brother in law. Is it that retired mayors are no longer newsworthy?

  3. Oh wow, I cannot believe he was charged with a ‘crime’. As a judge he should have known to remain silent. Now they will use his statements against him. Plead guilty and accept the consequences. Joe, come back to Wisconsin, your dad needs you to defend him for role playing with prostitutes while mom was visiting you in Florida.

    This is hilarious!

  4. The huge ring in Kenosha of corruption , public officials who think they above the law. This POS is a friend of the ex alderman who was the only alderman that thought Kenosha did a good job during the riots. With all the preditor teacher’s, ex judge, and so on I’d bet many more officials are banging prostitutes and children like a screen door in a hurricane. Sick ass world. I just hope Easton’s wife has a brain, self esteem and divorce his stupid ass for half of what she is entitled to.

    1. Yeah, thinking she found out a couple years ago, they filed for divorce together. But the first date of him role playing with ladies of the night was a couple years before the divorce.

  5. I am confused. While this guy is a pig, I don’t understand how prostitutes can be considered victims. Shouldn’t they also be arrested? Help me out, Kevin!

  6. and how many people did he send to jail for the same thing, More corruption …..

    His wife is sick with cancer, and this is what this guy does, I hope you sons keep their nose out of this
    cause if there is one scandal of favor pulled, we the People of Kenosha and pleasant prairie will stand up and fight
    this guy is not above the law he is a sick pile of dirt that needs to be taken to the land fill (prison ) .
    go see all the ones that you sent there, because you are worst then there are.

    maybe you should look to see How many times old man Steinbrink has used this website. he just as corrupt as the judge,
    guy lets his own son take the fall for what he has trained him to do since he was a teenager ,

    1. this guy is not above the law he is a sick pile of dirt that needs to be taken to the land fill (prison ) .
      go see all the ones that you sent there, because you are worst then there are.

      As if you’ll get prison time for paying a whore for her services, exaggerate much? Will pay a fine and be on his way. Morally, I do not disagree with you, he is a piece of shit.

    2. lol, the people of Pleasant Prairie will stand up and fight. Yeah, we can tell by how they sat around and did nothing when elections came to get these people out of office. They did nothing so STFU.

  7. In an odd way a bit refreshing to read this. It’s not about some school district employee acting inappropriately with students or some public official abusing his or her office as is the case with the main defendant in this investigation. By comparison he’s a snowball in a blizzard. Not the first retired old coot to seek relief from the World’s Oldest Profession and won’t be the last. Certainly hurt his family and their Thanksgiving dinner, if one is actually held this year, should be very interesting.

  8. Congrats George, you made Fox6 News. To think pieces of shit like this, with no morale code actually have/had the power to that ones freedom away is astonishing to me.

  9. The “victim” is society…. So is there a victim? You can pay someone to rub your shoulder, or your back… you can pay a plumber to fix your basement flooded with sewage…… you can pay someone to insulate your attic in August…..
    If you dont “want”to be paid to do certain tasks or acts, dont do them…. Unless someone points a gun at your head and forces you to clean sewage….
    Lazy people take jobs that fit lazy people…….if someone threatens or forces you to do something, there’s a victim. If you agree on a price for a service where there’s no victim….
    Unless Crystal Kizur was innocent then?

  10. FYI- gravely and McNeil REFUSED to ever charge a prostitite with prostitution. Ask SOLIS now if he will charge all prostitution on both ends

    1. Please show me one case, nationwide, that a pig was charged with a felony for paying a whore for her services?

      1
      1
    2. It’s not illegal per se to have sex with a prostitute in Wisconsin. It is a misdemeanor to solicit or engage in certain sex acts with anyone for compensation. There are quite a few subparts to this as well. To convict, there must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant solicited or engaged in certain sex acts and that there was a request or agreement that these be performed in exchange for anything of value (compensation). The devil is in the detail. On the date in question, did the defendant solicit or engage in certain prohibited sex acts listed in the state criminal code (not all compensated sex acts in Wisconsin are illegal) and, if so, did he do so with a request or agreement that there would be compensation in exchange for doing so. Sometimes that’s a no brainer and easy to prove, i.e., soliciting oral sex in exchange for $40. In that situation there was a request to perform one of the sex acts listed in the prostitution law in exchange for $40. But, what if there was no specific agreement or request to perform one of the listed sexual acts? There are several ways that could happen. One might be where compensation was exchanged for a period of companionship without any of the listed acts solicited or offered. That’s why undercover police officers posing as prostitutes try to get the “John” to ask for a specific sex act in exchange for a specific amount of money. It’s kind of like a contract: what were the terms of the deal? The guy needs a good criminal lawyer. He’s already divorced so he doesn’t need a divorce attorney. (And also needs to think with the big head.)

      1. Like when your employer offers you $26 per hour to come to work for 8 hours for a job “you don’t like to do”…. You “need” the money to survive, and you wouldn’t do the work for free. Then they got you stuck there with health insurance and benefits, so you have no choice. So basically all jobs are human trafficking.

  11. Let’s not forget about Anderson Law in Kenosha getting arrested and convicted on municipal prostitution a few years back too.
    Case #2021-33824

    1. Many European countries devote their law enforcement resources at prostitution that does not involve consenting adults in private.
