Kentucky Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry faces nine charges of misconduct following an investigation by the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission which allegedly found 'a pattern of misconduct in office.'

Through her counsel, Stephen P. Ryan, Gentry has denied all allegations presented by the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission except one, involving some inappropriate humor that Gentry claims she did not respond to.

Among the charges are the allegations that Gentry coerced colleagues to campaign for her as she sought her current position on the courts. Those who did not support Gentry's judicial campaign allegedly faced retaliation. Attorneys who did not support Gentry's campaign reportedly faced delays of scheduled hearings in Gentry's court. Gentry is also accused of retaliating against a school liaison officer for supporting Gentry's opponent in the race.
