Posted by Ilya Somin: House Judiciary Committee May Open Impeachment Investigation of Judge Samuel B. Kent: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_09_30-2007_10_06.shtml#1191461083
According to [1]this Houston Chronicle article, several members of the House Judiciary Committee have expressed interest in potentially opening up an investigation into the possiblity of impeaching U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent, who has [2]a long history of dubious conduct, culminating in a recent sexual harrassment charge, that led to an extremely rare reprimand from the the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Judicial Council. Impeachment would certainly be justified if the accuser's lawyer (quoted in the article) is right to claim that Kent's alleged harrassment (the details of which are not publicly known) amounted a criminal offense.
