"A rural Kentucky judge gunned down by a sheriff in his own chambers allegedly ran the courthouse like a “brothel” & brought women to his office in an ongoing sex-for-favors scheme, a witness told cops.

The claim was made by Sabrina Adkins, a woman who, in 2022, had been coerced into sexual favors by one of Stines’ deputies, Ben Fields, in exchange for staying under house arrest.

Speaking to police about the assault, she suggested that the sextortion wasn’t a one-off incident — & Fields wasn’t the only one involved.
