Sexual favours for the court

A Swedish judge of the Supreme Court has been caught buying sexual favours of a prostitute, which is illegal in Sweden. But nobody seems to object that he keeps on judging cases involving prostitution. No matter what you might think of prostitution as such the judge has obviously committed an illegal act.

Apparently judges are themselves standing outside of the legal system that entails all the rest of us. So how does the court think that this will affect peoples trust in trials about sexual crimes? How will this affect our trust in the judicial system?
