A Utah federal judge will continue to preside over a teen sex case involving the bisexual actor who played the grandfather in the made-in-Utah Disney Channel show “Andi Mack," despite the actor’s allegation the judge is biased.
An attorney for Stoney Westmoreland, 48, motioned for U.S. District Court Judge Howard C. Nielson’s recusal on Nov. 11, and the judge denied it earlier this month, writing he has no bias against Westmoreland.
Westmoreland was charged in January in Utah’s U.S. District Court for allegedly trying to set up a meeting for sex with someone he thought was a 13-year-old boy.
