The judge who sparked outrage after jailing serial sex offender Stuart Hall for just 15 months was forced to quit after being caught visiting a gay brothel, it has emerged.
Judge Anthony Russell QC's promising career as a barrister had looked to be over when he resigned after admitting he went to the male-only Greenhouse club in Walsall, the West Midlands, in 1996.
It was alleged Judge Russell went into a 'dark room' inside the club with a leading doctor and a hospital porter.
Following the allegations, reported in the News of the World, the judge resigned as part-time Recorder of Bolton and as the top lawyer for the Inland Revenue.
But five years later he was reinstated and has gone on to become a senior judge.
