County Judge Faces Historic Sexual Assault Accusations | Lubbock News

Russell Wall, newly elected County Judge in Scurry County, Texas, is facing explosive accusations of child sexual assault — charges that could derail his political future. Alleged crimes occurred over 30 years ago, but the case resurfaced after he won the Republican primary, triggering a reopened investigation. The accuser initially came forward two years ago but later withdrew cooperation, leading to a closed case — until now. Wall’s defense insists there’s no evidence beyond the accuser, who never testified, and claims three family members, including the accuser’s mother and brother, support his innocence. Despite mounting pressure, the sheriff’s office remains tight-lipped, and Wall, who plans to take office in January, maintains his innocence while expressing regret for the pain caused. This high-stakes drama is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
