Nevada Judge Resigns Amid Stalking Allegations
A Nevada judge announced his retirement unexpectedly, just days after a court issued a nondisclosure order concerning a lawyer who has allegedly stalked him for over a year.
Washoe County Judge Bridget Robb, 63, is accused of persistently stalking a female attorney in various locations throughout Reno, detailed in court documents obtained by officials.
The allegations describe numerous unsettling encounters but suggest there may have been hundreds of incidences from May 2024 until the temporary protection order was granted last week.
On January 16, after granting Robb the temporary protection order, Chief District Judge Egan Walker stated that Robb would be removed from all cases and committee responsibilities, leading to an internal investigation.
In a surprising turn, Robb announced his retirement on Thursday.
In his statement, Robb said, “After careful consideration, I have made the decision to resign from my position as a judge. I believe it is in the best interest of the court, my family, and my community to step back from the judicial role and elections at this time. I ask for the respect and understanding of all involved during this transition period.”
Despite seeking re-election for his position on Family Court, Division 13, Robb filed to run against Judge Kathleen Sigurdsson of Division 10 on January 5, according to reports.
Reno police began investigating Robb in late 2025, monitoring a fitness studio the targeted attorney frequented. According to court documents, detectives observed Robb lingering around the shopping center where this gym is located while the attorney was working out inside.
On January 7, police approached Robb while he was patrolling the area, stopping his car for questioning. The documents indicate that detectives followed him to his home and interviewed him, with his lawyer alleging that Robb confessed to the stalking behavior.
Robb reportedly claimed his actions were a means of “gathering information” connected to a past relationship, thus framing it as a coping mechanism.
Officials revealed that surveillance footage from several Ring cameras was included in the evidence for the nondisclosure request, but they did not disclose the specifics of what the footage depicted.
Court filings indicated a troubling pattern of behavior, though specific charges against Robb were not detailed.
Appointed to the 2nd Judicial District Court in 2006 by former Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn, Robb has also been active on the Board of Directors for the Nevada State Bar Association.
A hearing concerning the extension of the temporary protection order is slated for February 13.
