Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Seamus P. McCaffery was one of the people found to have sent pornographic emails to a government email address within the state Attorney General’s Office, according to a media report and sources who spoke to The Legal.

When Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s office was investigating her predecessors’ handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal, it uncovered more than 20 million deleted emails from the years 2008 through 2012, hundreds of which were pornographic in nature and were sent or received by people inside and outside of the office. Kane has only released the names of eight of those people, but rumors circulated since last week that jurists, including McCaffery, may have also been involved in the email exchanges.
