Former U.S. Attorney Embroiled in Misconduct Scandal Resigns from Arkansas Judicial Commission
Comes Now, a significant development, documents released by the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, shedding light on the misconduct of Duane “Dak” Kees, former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas for Office behaviors which appears nearly identical to that of Mr. Shawn P. Diddy Combs, Mr. Harvey Weinstein and a Mr. William Cosby; however Mr. Duane “Dak” Keys because of his qualified immunity as US Attorney at this point faces “NO,” Law License forfeitures or other Sanctions.
INTRODUCTION
Mr. Kees, who resigned from his federal position amid an investigation, recently landed another government position: a seat on a state commission overseeing the ethics of Arkansas judges, from the state Supreme Court down to local magistrates.
However, unlike the so-called greedy, unethical “Opioid Pill Mill,” the Pharmacists and Physicians he has creatively targeted and charged using any number of Criminal/Civil protocols, Mr. Kees will be permitted to keep his law licenses, face no forfeiture proceeding, and remain in good standing with the State and Federal Legal Community.
BACKGROUND
The Justice Department report, released Tuesday, details Kees’s improper relationship with a subordinate, which began shortly after he was sworn in.
The relationship, which lasted approximately seven months, involved exchanging flirtatious stories about sexual exploits that gradually progressed to sexual contact. Kees and his subordinate disputed who initiated the relationship, and the Justice Department redacted the subordinate’s identity from the report.
According to the subordinate, at one point, Kees asked for a kiss in an elevator, and when she declined, he said, “You do know I’m in charge of your promotions, right?” Kees did not recall making this comment. The relationship ended soon after this interaction, and the subordinate described feelings of anxiety whenever she heard Kees lowering his metal window blinds, knowing it signaled a summons to his office.
Mr. Kees served as U.S. Attorney from January 2018 until his resignation in January 2020, shortly after being interviewed by misconduct investigators.
His appointment by former President Donald Trump, despite his lack of experience with the Justice Department, was controversial. Kees’s resignation was not initially linked to the misconduct investigation; instead, it was reported that he was leaving to serve as a top lawyer at Tyson Foods.
The Justice Department report also reveals that Kees’s misconduct influenced his professional decisions. For instance, he advocated for a two-week suspension instead of termination for an employee with a history of misconduct to prevent potential exposure of his own actions. This decision, among others, reflected Kees’s prioritization of keeping his misconduct secret over the best interests of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
DISCUSSION
In June 2023, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin appointed Kees to the nine-member Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, which oversees the conduct of approximately 400 judges in the state.
Griffin was reportedly unaware of the allegations against Kees at the time of the appointment. Following the release of the Justice Department report, Griffin’s spokesperson announced that Kees would be resigning from the Commission, effective immediately.
“…WE, OUR ATTORNEYS, WILL NEVER STOP BEING INVENTIVE..”
“Attorney General Griffin is still reviewing the allegations in the report but can disclose that Mr. Kees is resigning his position on the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission,” the spokesperson stated.
Context of Misconduct: Paraphilias and Normophilic Interests
The context of Kees’s behavior can be partially understood through the lens of sexual interests and misconduct. Paraphilia is defined as the experience of recurring or intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, places, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals.
It is distinguished from normophilic, or “normal,” sexual interests, although what constitutes “normal” remains controversial. Paraphilias include a wide array of interests, and the exact number and classification are debated among experts. Some researchers have identified as many as 549 types of paraphilias, though the boundaries between unconventional sexual interests, kinks, fetishes, and paraphilias are not clearly defined.
The term “paraphilia” was coined in 1903 by Friedrich Salomon Krauss and popularized in the 1980s by John Money as a non-pejorative term for unusual sexual interests. It was first included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1980. Historically, terms like “sexual deviation” and “perversion” were used, reflecting the evolving understanding and social attitudes towards atypical sexual interests.
Despite the historical stigma, recent research suggests that paraphilic interests are relatively common in the general population. Cultural relativism plays a significant role in defining what is considered acceptable or deviant sexual behavior, with wide variance across different societies.
“..THE SPOUSE ALWAYS KNOWS..”
Conclusion
The revelations about Duane “Dak” Kees’s misconduct and subsequent resignation from the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission highlight significant issues regarding ethics and accountability in government positions.
As society continues to grapple with the definitions and perceptions of sexual misconduct and paraphilias, the importance of transparency and ethical behavior in public service remains paramount.
