The total number of women who now accuse Alex Kozinski — a high-profile judge who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit — of some kind of inappropriate comments, touching or other behavior is 15. (J. David Ake/AP)Nine more women say that Alex Kozinski — a high-profile judge who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit — subjected them to sexual comments or other conduct, including four who say he touched them inappropriately. A former Kozinski clerk said Kozinski, in his chambers, showed her an “open-legged image of a male figure that was naked,” although it did not have the “intent” of typical porn. Still, the former clerk said she was startled and soon went to talk to another 9th Circuit clerk about what had happened. A former 9th Circuit clerk said that at a dinner with other clerks, Kozinski brought up a movie that contained a topless woman, talking about her “voluptuous” breasts.
