Judge and female prosecutor involved in explosive Madad X sex scandal rocks quaint Massachusetts town


Former New Bedford District Court Judge Douglas Darnbrough, 56, resigned from his position following anonymous letters accusing him of having an affair with a much younger prosecutor, Karlyn Butler, 31. The scandal began when mysterious ‘Madam X’ started sending letters to various lawyers, officials, and reporters in fall of 2023, detailing alleged romantic encounters between Darnbrough and Butler at a Massachusetts restaurant and office.

The poison pen letters claimed that Darnbrough and Butler had been in a relationship since the end of 2022, with the judge showing favoritism towards the prosecutor in cases brought before him. Two guilty verdicts secured by Butler under Darnbrough’s oversight have been challenged due to the alleged affair.

Despite the scandal, Butler has denied the claims made in the anonymous letters and remains employed at the Bristol County district attorney’s office. Darnbrough resigned from his post citing health reasons but has since opened a private law practice. The Committee for Public Counsel Services has requested new trials for convicted individuals whose cases were overseen by Darnbrough and Butler.

The American Civil Liberties Union, the New England Innocence Project, and the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers have taken up an appeal on behalf of one of the convicted individuals. They have raised concerns about the handling of the scandal by the district attorney’s office and called for an investigation into the allegations.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court may have to review dozens of cases if it is determined that Darnbrough and Butler did indeed have an affair. Requests for comments from the district attorney’s office and Darnbrough went unanswered.
