Video: American court official fired after video of woman complaining of assault goes viral Mrs Contreras then begs for mercy and asks to be allowed to go but, amazingly, the judge takes no notice of her pleas, and continues to ignore the crying woman, occupying herself playing with the woman's daughter up on the judge's dais. Under duress, Mrs Contreras offers to take back her complaint - "Let me go please, let me go, it was all lies," she pleads, crying but when she is ordered to a court microphone to formally recant, she refuses and again repeats her allegations and complaint. She is then handcuffed while she screams at the female judge "How could you do this to me? How could you watch? Her daughter then begs the court officer 'Sir, don't take momma," but the woman is led away to jail and the child taken into temporary custody. Two months later, Contreras filed a complaint with Clark County Court Marshal Internal Affairs, according to the report on KLAS-TV Las Vegas. After a six-month investigation into her complaint, the Marshall, Ron Fox, was sacked while other court marshals are reportedly being investigated as well for attempting to cover up incident. Mr Fox reportedly maintains his innocence and is suing Clark County for wrongful dismissal. Video footage courtesy of 8 News
