Juan Martinez would like to keep his privacy.
The tenacious terrier of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is notorious for dredging up the sex lives of the defendants he prosecutes, from nude photographs down to details like condoms and KY jelly.
But when it comes to his own alleged sexual transgressions, which will be the main topic of a hearing later this month before a panel headed by the Arizona Supreme Court’s Presiding Disciplinary Judge, his attorneys have asked the judge to limit media coverage because “…(T)here will be testimony regarding sensitive personal information which (Martinez) and at least two witnesses desire to remain private.”
The Senior Bar Counsel for the State Bar of Arizona, which licenses and regulates attorneys in the state, went several steps further, responding to camera requests from four TV news stations by asking that all testimony in the hearing, slated for Aug. 27-29, be sealed and media coverage be blocked.
