Pa. Supreme Court Justice McCaffery Tied to Hundreds of Porn Emails

Ron Castille, Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, says a review linked fellow Justice Seamus McCaffery to more than 200 explicit messages.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Ron Castille said on Wednesday a review found Seamus McCaffery sent and received hundreds of sexually explicit emails.

Castille told reporters that, of the 2,800 emails McCaffery sent or received between 2008 and mid-2012, 234 contained pornographic images or videos. “No other Supreme Court justice was identified as having sent or received any sexually explicit emails,” a statement from Castille’s office said.

This is only the latest chapter of the ongoing feud between Castille and McCaffery, which Robert Huber chronicled in a Philadelphia magazine article last year.

“Is Castille trying to destroy Seamus?” Bob Brady wondered to Huber for that 2013 article. Castille late last week urged his colleagues to take action against McCaffery.

The Inquirer has previously reported on 10 emails containing pornographic images sent from McCaffery’s personal account to the state email account of an agent in the attorney general’s office, as well as two emails sent to Daniel McCaffery’s government account. “Daniel McCaffery responded to one of them by asking that such messages be sent to his personal email account,” the paper reported.

By law, Castille — who is 70 — must resign at the end of the year.
