Lawyer charged with overseeing troubled attorneys lands in hot water for alleged groping

Dan Murdock, the 62 year old lawyer in charge of overseeing Oklahoma attorneys facing disciplinary actions, is himself facing troubles, after being charged sexual battery with groping a woman June 28 during a wedding shower.


He is charged with two counts because he allegedly bit the 36-year-old woman's breast and groped her genital area, then grabbed her by the hair and bit her on the back of the neck when she tried to get away from him, according to court documents.

Oklahoma City police swabbed the woman's bite marks, finding DNA consistent with a sample from him, Detective Daniel Sheehan wrote in an affidavit.

Murdock faces 10 years in prison, and is free on $5,000 bail. His official position, which he requested a leave of absence from, is the General Counsel for the Oklahoma Bar Association.
