Judge Schuck Retires Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Delaware County Judge James Schuck has retired amid serious allegations of sexual assault and harassment by an assistant prosecutor, who also filed a civil stalking protection order against him — a move that led to his voluntary leave since November. The accuser claims Schuck forced sexual contact twice and stalked her for months; the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating. Schuck’s attorney insists he’s innocent, citing a passed polygraph, but a protection order remains in place through November. The accuser resigned in April, and with Schuck’s retirement effective June 15, Governor Mike DeWine will appoint a replacement to serve until December 31, 2030 — with the seat up for election next year.
