A former court clerk alleges a North Texas judge sexually harassed her and repeatedly forced her to perform oral sex on him over a five-year period.

And, she says she has the semen-stained dress and blouse to prove it.

Martha Kibler, the clerk, alleges in a federal lawsuit that Tarrant County Justice of the Peace Russ Casey forced her into sexual acts during work hours in the courthouse office from 2009 to 2014, sometimes while he wore his judicial robes.

Casey denied the allegations and told CBS 11, "There were some accusations made months ago and they were even proven to be false. Other than that, I'll have to refer you to the attorney."

Kibler, who has worked as a county employee for 22 years, began working for the court in 2007, the lawsuit states.

About two years later, she entered his office to repay a personal loan.

"Judge Casey informed Kibler that he was not interested in her money and instead he grabbed his penis and told Kibler to perform oral sex," the lawsuit alleges.

"After Kibler said 'no' and that she could not do that for Judge Casey, Judge 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 and performed oral sex on Judge Casey," according to the lawsuit.

Casey then routinely coerced Kibler into sexual acts, which twice included intercourse, and threatened to fire her if she refused, the lawsuit says.

Kibler once tried to refuse Casey's coercion in December 2013 after her son died, according to the lawsuit, telling Casey that "she felt like her son was watching from heaven." Casey then allegedly threatened to fire her if she didn't oblige him.

Kibler complained twice to the county's human resources department, who said they could do nothing about Casey's alleged behavior because he is an elected official.

"As proof, Kibler also provided Tarrant County with a dress and blouse she owned which possessed Judge Casey's dried semen," the lawsuit alleges.

Casey fired Kibler in August 2014 after she refused to perform sexual acts on him, but accused her of stealing money from the court, the suit claims.

Kibler went to the county's human resources department, who placed her on paid administrative leave before moving her to another department altogether.

County employees had promised Kibler that they would investigate Casey but never did, according to the lawsuit.

NBC Dallas Fort-Worth reported that an audit of Casey's office conducted in November revealed that Casey's account did not always received deposits in a timely fashion. It also showed that financial information at the office wasn't regularly recorded properly.

"It appears that the employee was making a series of personal loans from the cash deposits by failing to actually deposit the money daily," Casey said. He did not name the employee.

WFAA reported Thursday that a grand jury had previously declined to indict Casey on a criminal charge of official oppression by sexual harassment following an investigation by the Hurst Police Department last November.
