Craig D. Storey was a Utah Second Judicial District judge for Weber County, Utah for the Weber County Justice Court and the Huntsville Justice Court.[1] Storey was appointed to this position in 1984.[2]
Education
Storey graduated from Weber State College and received his J.D. from the University of Utah College of Law. After earning his degree, he practiced law with Gridley, Echard and Ward and Smith and Froerer in Ogden. Storey was then appointed as a judge to the Weber County Justice Court in 1984. He has served in that position since.[2]
Sexual harassment allegation
In July of 2008 Judge Storey's court clerk Marcia Eisenhour spoke to Deputy Weber County Attorney Craig Allred about harassing treatment that she alleged to be receiving from Judge Storey. She accused him of writing a "sexually explicit poem about Eisenhour, described for her a dream in which she was washing dishes in the court's break room while naked from the waist up and that he had called and said he loved her," all of which the judge admitted to. He has not admitted to further allegations of touching Eisenhour with his groin.
County officials asked the Utah Attorney General's Office to take the case, but they declined to act. The county attempted to work out a plan to make Eisenhour feel more comfortable at work by moving the judge's office to a different floor and designating an employee to serve as liaison between the two. However, Eisenhour further alleges that Storey has "cried on the shoulders" of most of the other court employees, who are sympathetic with him, and created a hostile work environment for her.
The Utah Judicial Conduct Commission has privately admonished Judge Storey and closed the case.[3]
Unsatisfied with the actions of the Commission, Eisenhour has sued both Storey and Weber County. The case was pending in federal court in 2010.[4]
