New York-AP -- A New York judge is in legal hot water for allegedly taking cash and gifts to influence divorce cases.

State Supreme Court Justice Gerald Garson was arraigned today on a charge of official misconduct.

He was arrested on corruption charges after prosecutors used a video camera to allegedly catch him in the act.

Prosecutors claim it's the first time video surveillance has been used against a state judge in his own chambers.

An investigation was launched after a woman claimed that a con man was roaming the courthouse, soliciting bribes to fix matrimonial cases. Authorities allege that in exchange for bribes, the con man and other court officials would bypass a random assignment policy and send cases to Garson.

Investigators say they recorded an attorney meeting Garson in his chambers and plying him with a box of cigars and one-thousand-dollars.
