Law society knew about judge’s nude photos six years ago

The Manitoba Law Society only began investigating Justice Lori Douglas last week, but knew about incriminating photos of her in 2004.

There had been rumours of judge Lori Douglas’s sexual past in the Winnipeg legal community for years, but today the Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that the province’s law society has known about compromising photos of her posted on the internet since 2004. The Manitoba Law Society requested a sealing order be placed on what it called “very sensitive” documents about Douglas in 2005 after a lawyer named Ian Histed presented them to a disciplinary committee in 2004. The existence of the photos became public last week after a former client of Douglas’s husband alleged the couple tried to induce him to have sex with her.
