A TEXAS Supreme Court judge has been suspended amid a litany of sex and drug allegations, including that she sexted a bailiff from the bench and took home marijuana that had been confiscated in her courtroom.

Houston Justice of the Peace Hilary Green was suspended on Friday without pay at the request of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

Among the allegations levelled at Green are that she and her long-time lover, Claude Barnes, took marijuana and ecstasy together a number of times.

Barnes has also sworn that he and the judge hired call girls for threesomes, including once to go to a hotel where Barnes was staying with Green while she attended a judicial conference in Austin.

Further allegations from Barnes, who the judge has not denied having an affair with, include that she asked him to illegally purchase a prescription cough medicine on the black market for her and that one of Green’s court officers took marijuana from a detainee and gave it to her.

Green handled thousands of low-level criminal and civil matters each year, which included drug possession cases involving minors as a justice of the peace.

Allegations of drug use and extramarital affairs first emerged in her acrimonious 2015 divorce proceedings from high profile Houston public official Ronald Green, with who she has a child.

The proceedings led to an investigation by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, which culminated in a 300 page report recommending her suspension last week.

In its one-page ruling, the Supreme Court agreed with the judicial conduct commission that the evidence, including Green’s own admissions, justified her immediate removal.

A longer civil trial is required to remove any elected judge from office.

Green has served on the bench since 2007 and was suspended without pay.

Records show Green, in response to the commission, acknowledged illegally obtaining prescription drugs, as well as using marijuana.

Green’s response also indicated she admitted to engaging in sexually explicit and drug-related texts with a bailiff.

An lawyer for Green said he’s disappointed by the suspension and they’ll consider how to proceed.

The 300 page commission document describes four separate judicial misconduct complaints against Green made between 2012 and 2016.

The body found her, “outright betrayal of the public’s trust warrants her immediate suspension pending formal proceedings”.

In divorce filings, Ronald Green alleged his former wife was a prescription drug addict who engaged in several extra-martial affairs.

The Houston Chronicle reports he also alleged that his wife had lied to the commission in response to two older judicial misconduct complaints related to Green’s relationship with a convicted conman named Dwayne Jordon.

Jordan is a five-time felon, according to the Chronicle, who Green helped temporarily seize control of his grandfather’s home from his uncle through an illegal eviction, in an order made in her court.

She intends to fight the suspension publicly, her lawyer said.
