  A Brooklyn judge sexually harassed his Orthodox Jewish secretary and fired her when she complained about his behavior, a new lawsuit claims.
  Brooklyn civil court Judge David Schmidt, 61, tormented his court secretary Sharon Sabbagh, 57, forcing her to give him hugs before she left work and pick up his soiled underwear, it is alleged.
  The lawsuits also claims he stroked her face, often strutted about his chambers shirtless and regaled her with seedy stories about his sex life with his mistress.

  The Brooklyn Supreme Court suits says he told her he bought his lover underwear from Victoria's Secret and that they have phone sex regularly, adding: 'When I have sex with my wife, I think of her.'
  The judge, who was elected to the bench in 1995,  also allegedly told his secretary that when his mistress 'sits across from me, she sits with her legs open so I can see her crotch, she wouldn't do that if she didn't want me'.
