Orange County Superior Court Judge Scott Steiner was reelected Tuesday despite being reprimanded two years ago for having sex with an intern and an attorney in his chambers.

Steiner defeated prosecutor Karen Schatzle by approximately 12.5 percent of the votes cast, the Los Angeles Times reported.
....

Despite admitting to multiple sexual liaisons in his judicial chambers, Steiner ran for reelection on a platform stressing “the importance of family.” ... “As a husband and father of two young daughters, I realize how important family is to me in my life,” he says in one campaign video.

Steiner apologized to his family shortly after the affairs ended, O.C. Weekly reported. ... According to the newspaper, Steiner is a “longtime conservative, Republican Party activist.” His campaign website features a photo of a young Steiner shaking the hand of Ronald Reagan.
