Vickie Paladino Calls For Disbarment Of NYC Judge Amid Scandal

Gregory Locke, 33, was fired last week for "unprofessional behavior" after it was revealed he was posting x-rated content online for money.

BAYSIDE, QUEENS — Council Member Vickie Paladino is calling for a New York City judge to be disbarred after it was revealed he was posting x-rated content online for money.

Gregory Locke, 33, was fired last week for “unprofessional behavior,” according to the New York Post, after it was reported that the former judge was doubling as a porn star on OnlyFans, a sex-focused internet subscription service.

Paladino said Locke should be disbarred after he insulted the Council Member via Twitter after her comments criticizing Drag Queens Story Hour in schools and libraries.

“Between the vile remarks Mr. Locke made about myself, the mayor, and Republicans in general, and his apparent second career in pornography, it’s clear he was in direct violation of the rules of professional conduct and impartiality for a judge," Paladino told Patch. "I’m glad the city took swift action in removing him.”

The Republican lawmaker described the LGBTQ program as "child grooming" last summer and was recently removed from a New York City Council committee amid her comments.

“This guy should lose his law license, we’re in the process," she told The Post.

Locke has been operating an OnlyFans account since November 2020, according to the report, charging $12 a month for access. He was also running an account on JustFor.Fans, charging $9.99 a month for access to his photos and videos.
