Someone is taking a tip from Monica Lewinsky’s playbook…

According to a federal complaint filed in the Northern District of Texas, Martha Kibler, a former clerk in Tarrant County, Texas, claims Justice of the Peace Russ Casey forced her to perform sexual acts in the courthouse. As NBC DFW is reporting:

The sexual abuse started about three years later [after Kibler began working for Casey] when Kibler walked into Casey’s office to repay a “small, personal loan,” according to the claim.

“Judge Casey leaned back in his chair, unzipped his pants in front of Kibler, and exposed his penis” and demanded she perform a sexual act, the lawsuit alleges. “After Kibler said, ‘No’ and that she could not do that, Casey responded that he was good to her, had loaned her money and kept her employed and thus she had better return the favor. Kibler complied…”

The lawsuit claims a “pattern of sexual harassment and physical abuse” lasted five years and some of the sexual acts occurred “while he was wearing his judicial robe.”

Ugh, I get the ickies just reading that.

In December 2013, after her son passed away, Kibler alleges she tried to put a stop to the “relationship” because:

“she felt like her son was watching from heaven,” according to the lawsuit.

“Judge Casey refused to take no for an answer,” the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit also alleges Kibler took steps to ensure her story would be believed when she reported the harassment.

Kibler said she told county officials about the sexual abuse in August 2014.

“As proof, Kibler also provided Tarrant County with a dress and blouse she owned which possessed Judge Casey’s dried semen,” the lawsuit said.

Welp, that’s one way to preserve evidence.

After Kibler reported Judge Casey to county officials, the judge requested an investigation into accounting irregularities in his office after “uncovering a mismanagement of county deposits on the part of a staff member.” If you think the timing of the inquiry sounds a little suspicious, you aren’t alone:

[Andrea] Loveless, the clerk’s attorney, questioned the timing of the audit and denied any suggestions that Kibler mishandled money.

“It was never brought up before she was terminated, only after she brought up the sexual harassment,” Loveless said.

With all Kibler’s dealt with, at least there isn’t a Linda Tripp character waiting in the wings to stab her in the back.
