ATLANTA — A federal judge who was arrested on charges that he bought and used drugs with a stripper pleaded guilty yesterday to two drug-related charges, including a felony count of giving her cocaine even though he knew she was a convicted felon.

US Senior Judge Jack T. Camp pleaded guilty to the felony charge of aiding and abetting a felon’s possession of cocaine when he bought drugs for the stripper, who was secretly cooperating with authorities. He also pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors: possession of illegal drugs and illegally giving the stripper his government-issued laptop computer.

Camp, 67, could face up to four years in federal prison when he is sentenced March 4, but is likely to get substantially less time.
