Nevada Judge Retires After Protective Order Granted in Stalking Case

Washoe County Judge Bridget Robb, 63, abruptly retired and withdrew from a re‑election bid days after a Nevada court granted a temporary protective order to Reno attorney Kelci Binau, who accuses Robb of stalking her for more than a year. Court documents describe dozens of alleged encounters at Binau’s homes, workplaces and a fitness studio, with police surveillance reportedly catching Robb loitering near a gym and later pulling her over as she drove repeated 'routine' circuits. After the order was issued, Chief District Judge Egan Walker removed Robb from all cases and committees, and the Second Judicial District Court opened an internal investigation while Reno police continue their probe. Binau says Robb ignored multiple requests to stop and alleges the judge admitted during a body‑cam‑recorded interview that she was following the attorney, which Robb framed as 'collecting information' tied to a past relationship. A February 13 hearing will determine whether to extend the protective order, and no criminal charges have been announced so far.
