A spokesperson for the Oregon Judicial Department confirmed Monday that a judicial fitness complaint was filed against Marion County Circuit Judge Channing Bennett related to “serious allegations of misconduct.”

A longtime state judge in Salem is under investigation after he allegedly used vulgarities to refer to a prosecutor and a fellow judge, both women, during a judicial conference in central Oregon last month, sources say.
