Judge Cleared Of ASSAULT After Showing Videos Of PSYCHO Girlfriend Setting Him Up
By BROOKS EGERTON: Dallas police have ended a rape investigation of Judge Carlos Cortez, citing lack of evidence.
It’s the fourth criminal complaint against the Dallas County civil court judge to be dropped. He has denied wrongdoing.
The
investigation began in November, according to a police report, when a
woman accused Cortez of sexually assaulting her at his Uptown condo. She
said she became dizzy after drinking champagne he provided and could
not fight him off.
Police dropped the case this week after they received forensic test results that showed there was no DNA match.
“No charge is pending,” Maj. Jeff Cotner said Thursday.
Cortez,
through his secretary, declined to comment Thursday. Ted Steinke, the
attorney for the woman who filed the rape report, also declined to
comment.
Police arrested the judge in December on a separate
felony assault charge. A girlfriend accused him of choking her and
leaning her over the high-rise condo’s balcony rail. Grand jurors
declined to indict Cortez, who was running for re-election. Dallas
County District Attorney Craig Watkins, one of his many prominent
campaign endorsers, then dropped the case.
Soon afterward, Cortez lost a Democratic primary contest to Bonnie Lee Goldstein. He is set to remain in office until January.
Before
his first election victory, in 2006, Cortez was arrested twice. The
charges were drunken driving and sexual assault of a girl in elementary
school. He won dismissals both times and had most public records of the
cases destroyed.
His accuser in the child sexual assault case has
testified that Cortez orally raped her repeatedly while dating her
mother in the late 1990s, according to court records. The case was
dismissed, she told The Dallas Morning News, after she recanted.
She
said her accusations were true. She recanted, she said, because she
dreaded the prospect of a trial and felt she had destroyed her mother’s
hope of marrying Cortez.
Her testimony came in a 2010 defamation lawsuit that Cortez filed against one of his former lawyers and quickly dropped.
The judge obtained an order sealing the testimony and that of another woman. The News recently won a legal fight to unseal the sworn statements.
They
showed that the other woman accused Cortez of using cocaine, paying her
for sex and choking her during intercourse. No criminal complaint is
known to have resulted from those allegations.
