So the HERO who tried to stop a criminal is going to be prosecuted by Trish Hanson - whose Husband Did you know that Michael Gabbey, the husband of current Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson-is currently under investigation by the Wisconsin Judicial Commission? Did you know that after allegations were lodged against him, he resigned from his position as Town of Norway Municipal Judge? One of the more probable reasons why Michael Gabbey resigned from this position may have been the ongoing investigation on him by the Wisconsin Judicial Commission. Allegations of sexual harassment by a former court clerk/secretary to be exact. According to a highly reliable source within the Racine County Government, while acting in the capacity of Judge, Michael Gabbey made sexually charged comments to this woman over an extended period of time. So much so that the woman's husband filed an official complaint-which later reached the Wisconsin Judicial Commission as well as the Norway Town Board. According to this source, Judge Gabbey told this court employee that he had a 'big p***s' and invited her to his home to partake in a 3 some with another 'big d**k firefighter from Racine.' Women described feeling 'harassed' and 'intimated' by him. Furthermore, absolutely no local media outlets have, so far, reported on ANY of this. An Open Records request lodged on September 23, 2019 for any information regarding these allegations was met with a brick wall.
