Why Is Missouri's Republican AG Andrew Bailey Protecting a Judge Who Abused Children?

This report is part 28 of an investigative series looking into reported corruption in the Missouri judiciary and family courts. For the rest of the investigation, visit the catalog here.

If you thought Republican-led states were any safer for civil rights, think again. Missouri has a new attorney general, Republican Andrew Bailey, who is currently throwing the weight of the state and its resources behind defending family court Judge Eric Eighmy. Eighmy is the infamous judge who jailed and tortured America’s Got Talent stars the Rockett children in order to coerce them into living with the parent they did not prefer.

For a recap, the children, who were both teens at the time, refused to go live with their mother. In an effort to coerce them to do so, Eighmy dragged them to the detention center under his office and jailed them for an hour — stripped of their socks and shoes — and then threatened them with foster care if they refused to obey him. Later, the judge issued an order across state lines for a Louisiana sheriff to arrest the children and throw them in the juvenile detention center for two days, in solitary confinement, where they were subjected to abuse through strip searches, sleep deprivation, interrogation, and psychological trauma. When the children’s father, Bart Rockett, sued Judge Eighmy for civil rights violations on behalf of the children, the state of Missouri, through then-AG Eric Schmitt’s office, took up the case for the bad judge. Schmitt is also a Republican. Eighmy, represented by Schmitt’s office, already lost his first bid for immunity in December in the District Court.

If you have to ask the question. You already know the answer. Regardless of just how uncomfortable the answer is.
