Far-right Texas lawyer faces detailed sex misconduct allegations in new lawsuit

Former Texas Solicitor General Judd Stone is facing new sexual misconduct allegations from his time serving in the Texas Attorney General's Office, a new lawsuit alleges.

Stone is most known as the far-right lawyer who defended the Texas "bounty hunter" abortion law, which allowed Texas residents to sue individuals who aid or abet in performing or inducing an abortion. The suit alleges that anyone involved from an Uber driver to the doctor, could be targeted.

As Slate legal analyst Mark Joseph Stern recalled, "Judd Stone argued that strangers had standing to sue any person who 'aided or abetted' an abortion in Texas based on the 'extreme moral harm' they suffer by knowing the abortion happened."

Texas Monthly writer Robert Downen wrote about the suit on Bluesky, showing some of the more detailed allegations.

"I am being dead serious. Judd Stone allegedly talked about this asteroid fantasy so often that the agency's No. 2, Brent Webster, discussed it with him and, later fearing for his and his family's safety, consulted with other top officials in the AG's office," said Downen.

The "asteroid fantasy" is a violent sexual fantasy that "Stone publicly described ... in excruciating detail over a long period of time," the suit alleges.

First Assistant Texas Attorney General Brent Webster wrote in an email detailing the allegations, and that email is among the exhibits of the lawsuit against Stone from Jordan Eskew, a program specialist for Attorney General Ken Paxton.

"The first female employee came to me on October 13, 2023. I asked Ralph Molina to join the conversation with me, so that I had a witness. Through many tears, she told me stories of Judd discussing sexual things with her, specifically regarding a disturbing sexual fantasy Judd had about me being violently anally raped by a cylindrical asteroid in front of my wife and children," the email from Webster reads.

Stern also posted a screen capture of the story asking simply, "What ... the f---."

He also noted, "Stone allegedly shared his asteroid rape fantasy IN FRONT OF federal judges. Would love to know which ones!"

The lawsuit alleges this was "during a meal with federal judges, governor staff and NGO workers."

Civil rights lawyer Athul K. Acharya had little sympathy for all involved.

"Hard to feel bad for anyone involved here, they’re all some of the most evil people in America. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show," he posted on Bluesky.

“'Supervillain has recurring fantasy about cylindrical asteroid anally raping minor villain' is, all things considered, hilarious. For that matter, 'right-wing a--hole forced to rely on workplace-harassment laws he opposes' is also hilarious," he added, later clarifying he was referring to Webster.

"I’m talking about Brent Webster, the author of the letter quoted in the declaration and the subject of Judd’s fantasy. Is the declaration by an EA? Godspeed to her in her lawsuit, even though she’s also evil (was Hitler’s secretary evil? obviously yes)," he explained.
