A Campaign Built on Misrepresentation
Foxworth-Roberts, who ran as a Democrat but branded herself as the embodiment of “conservative family values,” is accused of fabricating key elements of her military background during her 2020 judicial campaign.
Her ads claimed she was a U.S. Army Captain who served in Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In reality? Investigators say she never rose above First Lieutenant, and being born in 1974, she would have only been 16 years old during Desert Storm.
In sworn statements, advertisements, and interviews, she repeated these claims — touting herself as a “pro-military” and “pro-veteran” public servant. But those claims crumbled under scrutiny when the OSC obtained her official military records directly from the Army.
“Her actions were calculated, deliberate, made in bad faith to further her own self-interests and avoid detection,”said Special Counsel Michelle Beaty.
The Diamond Ring That Sparked Suspicion
The scandal doesn’t stop with the military misrepresentation. The OSC also alleges that Foxworth-Roberts lied to police and insurance investigators about the circumstances of a reported car burglary in which she claimed a $19,000 diamond ring had been stolen.
The ring wasn’t the only thing under scrutiny. Investigators say the judge gave conflicting stories about where the car was located at the time of the theft and failed to disclose that she had filed an insurance claim related to the incident.
The brief also notes that she tried to obscure what losses she actually claimed, and misled authorities about the entire event — calling into question whether a crime occurred at all.
“This kind of deception, involving law enforcement and insurance providers, reflects an alarming disregard for the law. When a judge crosses the line into alleged fraud, it undermines public confidence in the entire judiciary.” Samuel Lopez, legal Analyst | USA Herald
