Lawyer Suspended for Explicit Messages | Charlotte News

A North Carolina lawyer, Charles Christopher Adkins, faces a two-year suspension after sending explicit messages and images to a woman across a child custody case — including a photo of his genitals — while on vacation in Hawaii. The State Bar found he violated ethics rules by contacting her without the opposing attorney’s permission. As part of his punishment, he must be accompanied by another person during meetings with female clients, undergo mental health evaluation for sexual boundary issues, and maintain sobriety through treatment programs. Ironically, he’s also representing plaintiffs suing Mooresville over an incident involving Mayor Chris Carney seen without pants in Town Hall — a case still pending in federal court.
