Mom who filed civil suit against Detroit judge now accused of beating 71-year-old aunt

Latoreya Till was charged with assault in court on Friday after allegedly beating up her 71-year-old aunt while intoxicated. She had previously appeared on FOX 2 in August following the filing of a civil lawsuit against Judge Kenneth King of the 36th District Court with Fieger Law.

DETROIT (FOX 2):A local judge’s contentious decision to arrest a teenage girl on a field trip in August for contempt of court was a twist in the tale.

On Friday, Judge Kenneth King will have to deal with a civil claim brought by the teen’s mother, who is now in hot water.

According to Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office Steve Vincent, “this defendant doesn’t have any priors but, you’re absolutely right, and the 71-year-old was allegedly her aunt and the defendant was drunk and beating up on her.”

Latoreya Till was charged with assault in court on Friday after allegedly beating up her 71-year-old aunt while intoxicated.

She had previously appeared on FOX 2 in August following the filing of a civil lawsuit against Judge Kenneth King of the 36th District Court with Fieger Law.

In August, Latoreya Till stated, “Basically, I just want Judge King to take accountability for the way he humiliated my daughter.”

Why did she file the civil suit against Judge King?

Last August, while on a field trip in King’s court, her 16-year-old daughter Eva was held in contempt by King for repeatedly falling asleep and getting up with a bad attitude while making fun of him.

And from then it plummeted.

“She simply doesn’t care. In August, the judge remarked, “I’m tempted to give her some days in jail as a lesson.”

With no intention of ever putting her in jail, the judge forced her to put in handcuffs, change into a jail uniform, and stand in front of her peers. On behalf of her daughter, Till is now requesting monetary damages.

“It has been disastrous. Latoreya said, “Eva doesn’t want to go outside.”

What’s next in the case?

Judge King had to go through sensitivity training before returning to the bench. As the civil lawsuit progresses, Todd Perkins, his lawyer, is responding to this most recent development by accusing Till of assault.

“I would never want anyone to be in the crosshairs of the legal system,” lawyer Todd Perkins stated.

Perkins claims that while they are keeping a careful eye on her situation, they are not making a snap decision.

“That s what people did to Judge King, and they impugned his character when he was doing something that his robe, his position allows him to do,” Perkins said. “They were in a courtroom, but the court proceedings had halted. On the bench, he remained. For the purposes of all the time that we are discussing this, he remains Judge King.

Regarding King’s defense, Perkins claims that on that August day, he did what was within his authority. Perkins submitted a motion to dismiss the civil lawsuit.

A judge will consider the request in February.
