A New Jersey judge is under investigation for dozens of TikTok videos that showed him lip-syncing along to popular songs, sometimes while at work or while wearing judicial robes.
According to a complaint submitted to the state's Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, Superior Court Judge Gary N. Wilcox used an alias to create an account and post videos on TikTok. There are about 40 videos on his public account, posted between April 2021 and March 2023. Eleven of the videos "were inappropriate and brought disrepute to the Judiciary," the complaint said.
In some of the videos, Wilcox — using the pseudonym "Sal Tortorella" — lip-synced along to popular songs, including Rihanna's "Jump," Busta Rhymes' "Touch It" and other songs with "profanity, graphic sexual references to female and male body parts, and/or racist terms," the complaint alleges.
