Gregory A. Locke, the New York City judge who was fired last week after his x-rated OnlyFans and JustForFans accounts were uncovered, has issued his first statement since the incident unfolded.
In it, Locke expresses disappointment that the City of New York didn’t support him, and vows to continue creating adult content.
“It is disappointing that the City of New York decided to take the side of a documented bigot instead of seizing an opportunity to stand against ever-growing anti-LGBTQ+ hatred, particularly the fervent hatred toward the trans and non-binary communities,” he writes.
“I remain steadfast in my insistence that my tweets, even if not polite, did not violate any ethical guidelines.”
“The most vulnerable members of the queer community are fighting for their lives, and the only people offended by my tweets are those more interested in policing language than opposing policies and politics which kill.”
Locke, who worked as a city administrative law judge, is referring to his tweet directed at City Councilman Vickie Paladino, an outspoken critic of drag story hours. “Choke on a d–k,” he tweeted at her in March.
The 33-year-old judge also ripped NYC mayor Eric Adams after he dismissed the idea of separating church and state. “Eric Adams can suck my c–t,” he wrote.
Paladino lodged the complaint about Locke, leading to his OnlyFans page subsequently being uncovered in a New York Post hit piece.
Locke also shared his content on a NSFW Twitter account.
At the end of his statement, he says he’s proud to create explicit content.
“Sex work, including porn, is not shameful, and I will not filter my thoughts and actions to appease those who enact harm on my community,” he adds.
The Post reported that Locke was dismissed due to “unprofessional behavior.” According to the city rules of conduct, “A city administrative law judge shall conduct all of his or her extra-judicial activities so that they do not cast reasonable doubt on the city administrative law judge’s capacity to act impartially as a city administrative law judge,” and “do not detract from the dignity of judicial office.”
Locke made $58 per hour as a judge, according to the Post. It’s possible he could wind up making much more on OnlyFans, where his page has more than 10,000 likes. Locke currently charges $12 per month to subscribe.
We certainly wouldn’t mind paying…

There is nothing wrong with sex work, plus, he is very sexy. However, a judge should get held to a higher standard.
NexPat
He’s a parking ticket judge making less than $60 an hour. I am pretty sure his having an OnlyFans on the side should not violate your precious standards
Bromancer7
Like Clarence “Uncle Tom” Thomas, Amy “Handmaiden” Coney-Barrett, or Brett “Hold My Beer” Kavanaugh standards?
How does having an OF interfere at all with his ability to impartially do his job?
ShaverC
What a fool.
Troyfight
This was reported on a few other sites last week. …..probably more news to come

Sex work involving consenting adults should be legal and should not be looked down upon. Also, his free speech rights should not be infringed upon. As a judge, though, he is bound by certain rules and standards, so while I don’t think he should have been fired, he probably should have received a warning about his words.
Dymension
Should be, but it’s not.

Keep the timeline in mind. The investigation was initially about his “extra-judicial” OnlyFans work. But the firing came AFTER he tweeted that a councilwoman should “choke on a d*ck” and tweeted that the mayor should “suck my c**t.” Maybe those tweets weren’t such a good idea!

Remarkable architecture in the Pines. Cherry Grove, too, if the cottage is more your style. Everyone looks so much happier when they photograph on Fire Island. Dreamy memories. More power to him.
greekboy
He has issued his first statement since being fired. I can only hope it is also his last statement. Go ahead Queerty, stretch his 15 minutes. He’s playing you big time
abfab
Dare I say that it is YOU Q is playing. Is this really a problem for you? One hopes not. Judges are IN THE NEWS and Law And Order is an interesting thing, at least to me. Habeas corpus!

He’s definitely done alot with his God given assets; seems like a regular gym goer.
In his current mental state, he shouldn’t be a juge, not even a lowly administrative law judge earning $58/hour. His sex-obsessed defiant attitude and communications are not consistent with the standard of conduct to which a judge is and should be held.
He’s not a victimized, sex worker. He’s someone who sent inappropriate communicatons in a job that has standards of conduct.
I don’t know if SAA (not South Africa Airlines, but Sex Addicts Anonymous) survived the pandemic, but probably Narcotic Anonymous did. He has the attitude and style of addicts I’ve known, so just in case, I’d suggest he look into some type of 12-step group; it could help. Onlyfans won’t last forever, especially if one can’t keep one’s percentage fat down. ($12/month, as if….)
abfab
Wow wee! You’ve known addicts. You should be commended.
bachy
@Fahd: Insightful. Too many mentally ill hijacking the movement.
Brian
No, he doesn’t need 12-step, or to give into god, or to claim that “only” Jesus can save him. What utter nonsense.
bachy
@Brian: well he sure as hell needs to do something as he appears to be missing a few screws.
nm4047
One must, mustn’t one. WTF uses that reference?
gjg64
If he spent as much time working on his brain as he does working on his body he’d realize that A. doing porn and being a “judge” are not compatible, and B. using vulgarities to insult elected officials and being a “judge” are not compatible.
Who says that because you went to law school you’re smart.
Dymension
But you already have a job!
scotty
eech he’s fugly. and as previously stated by others, should hold himself to a higher standard. go eff your parking tickets “judge’ LMAO
wikidBSTN
I agree with him 100% on the porn and sex work, but not on the tweets. When you hold a government office – especially a position as a judge – there is certain decorum and behavior that is expected of you to protect the office you hold.
He is also free to publicly express his criticism of his superiors, but that must be done in a manner that does not tarnish his office. Hurling junior-high level obscenities at those you disagree with, is not only ineffective, but shows a very poor lack of judgement. They were justified in firing him.
bachy
What next? Someone who wants to sit on the bench in showgirl drag? Moron.
FreddieW
He could have saved years and lots of money if he had recognized earlier that his driving ambition was to be a porn star. Nobody wants a porn star as their judge or lawyer, except in a fantasy.
FreddieW
And I hope he enjoys it while he has that 33-year-old body. Old lawyers will be making money while he’s out begging for it.
NexPat
I am pretty sure a lawyer with an only fans on the side can adjudicate parking tickets or handle the closing of a condo in Hell’s Kitchen, without the world imploding
abfab
Exactly, NexPat. We can handle Clarence Fatso Thomas taking bribes for luxuray travel, so we’re good.
All this commotion over this NYer is hysterical!
