Melany Champagne of Lafayette filed the complaint with the Louisiana Ethics Administration, the newspaper reports.

Judge did not return messages Tuesday seeking comment, The Advocate reports.

Another ethics complaint was filed against Judge in June for raising money for his legal defense and for stopping the library board from entering into an executive session to consider settling the federal lawsuit.
