The Louisiana Supreme Court has removed East Baton Rouge Parish Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts from office following findings of judicial misconduct tied to false statements made during her 2020 election campaign.
In a ruling issued by the court, justices determined that Foxworth-Roberts misrepresented her background by claiming she held the rank of Captain in the U.S. military, a statement that was later proven to be untrue. Investigators concluded that the false claim was used to bolster her credentials with voters and constituted a serious ethical violation.
The decision followed a recommendation from the state’s judiciary disciplinary process, which found that the misrepresentation undermined public trust in the judiciary. The court ruled that removal from office was the appropriate sanction, citing the importance of honesty and integrity for those who serve on the bench.
Foxworth-Roberts had been one of the judges serving in Baton Rouge’s judicial system, and her removal immediately vacates her seat. The ruling reinforces the Louisiana Supreme Court’s position that judicial candidates and sitting judges are held to the highest ethical standards, particularly regarding truthfulness in campaigns and official records.
The vacancy will now be filled according to Louisiana law, either through appointment or election, as the court moves to restore confidence in the local judiciary.
