Defendant’s status was integral to the offense and its gravity. The offense was more serious because defendant was a judge than it would otherwise have been. [Authority]. The seriousness of the offense is an important sentencing consideration. Probation may be refused when it would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the crime. [Authority].”
