Description
In this lawyer discipline proceeding three complaining witnesses (the victims), employees of the law firm of the respondent, Philip E. Lowery, asserted that on several occasions the respondent inflicted vulgar, degrading non-consensual sexually abusive conduct on them. The hearing board (the board) entered findings and Conclusions to the effect that the respondent engaged in professional misconduct and recommended imposition of a thirty-day suspension as a sanction. A hearing panel of the Supreme Court Grievance Committee approved the boards findings of fact and Conclusions but recommended the imposition of a ninety-day suspension. The respondent filed exceptions to the hearing panels recommended discipline, asserting that it was too severe. We accept the findings and Conclusions of the board. However, in view of the gravity and extent of the respondents misconduct, we conclude that suspension for a period of one year and one day is the appropriate sanction.
