Loriann Ludwig has filed a federal lawsuit against Maryland Judge Raymond Strubin.
Loriann Ludwig couldn’t live without health insurance. The former jury commissioner and law librarian in Garrett County, Maryland, had an aggressive form of breast cancer.
And her boss at the time, Garrett County Circuit Court Judge Raymond G. Strubin, knew that, according to a federal lawsuit Ludwig filed last week in Maryland.
So he allegedly told her that if she stopped having sex with him despite her repeated attempts to end their years-long relationship, he would fire her—cutting her off from employer-sponsored health care.
Ludwig also alleges that at one point, Strubin sexually assaulted her when she refused to give him “50 blow jobs to celebrate her birthday.”
“The terror that Ludwig experienced during this period—which included Strubin repeatedly telling Ludwig that if she did not have sex with him, she would lose her health insurance and not be able to receive life-saving cancer treatments—remains with her to this day,” the lawsuit alleges.
The harassment lasted for years, according to the lawsuit. Now, Ludwig is accusing Strubin of battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and the deprivation of her constitutional rights.
“As soon as he was aware of the cancer treatment, that’s when he started to kind of weaponize that information against her,” Ludwig’s attorney, Sammy Y. Sugiura, told VICE News.
