The chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party has called for 44th District Court Judge Carlos Cortez to resign from the bench. The move comes after recently unsealed court documents revealed disturbing allegations by two women—one who alleged that Cortez sexually assaulted her when she was a child and another who alleged Cortez gave her money to buy cocaine.
But Darlene Ewing, a Dallas solo who heads the county Democratic Party, acknowledged that she’s had past political conflicts with Cortez.
