NewsNation has exclusively obtained audio recordings that could tie a now-dead Kentucky judge to a sex-for-favors scandal one week after the suspect, a former sheriff, pleaded not guilty to killing him.

The recordings are from the criminal investigation into a Letcher County deputy sheriff who went to prison earlier this year for rape and sodomy of a female inmate in 2022.

“He does have some videotapes of some stuff in the judge’s chambers… just with girls, sexual and stuff,” said Sabrina Adkins, who has spoken publicly about her claims of former Deputy Sheriff Ben Fields using his position of power to pressure her and other women to have sex in exchange for favorable treatment.
Adkins’ attorney, Ned Pillersdorf, told NewsNation, “it’s like they were running a brothel out of that courtroom.”

Adkins told police she saw one of the videos, which she claims shows the deputy sheriff and “some higher ups” having sex in Mullins’ chambers in exchange for granting the inmates bail to get out of jail.
The investigator in the audio asks Adkins to clarify who she saw in the video.

“I seen Judge Mullins having sex with a girl,” she said.

“Where was it at?” the investigator asked.

“In his office, in the judge’s chambers,” she responded.
