I've seen others here that posted someone's campaign contributions before, but I don't know how to look it up myself.

In Plea Deal, Ex-Cravath Lawyer Admits To Sex Crimes
Posted by Peter Lattman

Of all the many stories that have fallen within our jurisdiction, the story of James Colliton is perhaps the most sordid. In March 2006, Colliton, a former tax attorney at Cravath, was indicted on charges of paying two teenage sisters for sex (and paying their mother to permit it). After being arrested in Canada, he was mistakenly released and became a fugitive for a few days before being caught in an East Village hotel room. Click here for our Law Blog Coverage.

“We’ve had a lot of wild cases, but this is one of the wildest,” said Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau at the time. The story generated such tabloid headline gems as ”Cops Hunt Lolita Lawyer,” along with an accompanying sidebar on Cravath: “Shoes are whiter than most in city.”

Yesterday, Colliton admitted to having sex with three teenage girls and pleaded guilty to charges of statutory rape and patronizing a prostitute in return for a one-year prison sentence. He also agreed to register as a sex offender. Already jailed for 19 months, Colliton, a father of five, was eligible for immediate release, but the judge kept him in custody while he reviews the probation report. Here is the NYT story.

Colliton is represented by Howard Greenberg, who told the Times that said he could have faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted. In April 2006, Greenberg was singing a different tune, reportedly calling the two young alleged rape victims perjurers and one of them a “skank.” “My client made $500,000 a year,” he said. “He had the wherewithal to pay for any piece of tuchus on the planet. And he paid that skank?”
