Follow-up: Former judge Dupuy in isolation at Galveston County Jail

GALVESTON — Former county court judge Christopher Dupuy remained jailed Friday on charges alleging he posted photos of ex-girlfriends on a website advertising their services as escorts.

According to court records Dupuy, who was jailed on charges of online harassment and online impersonation, requested a court-appointed attorney. In the request, Dupuy claims he has no money in his bank accounts, despite claims he makes about $1,000 a week as an attorney.

He is jailed on bonds totaling $600,000.

Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochessett said Dupuy was being kept isolated in a cell “for his own protection” because “there may be some people in the jail he put in there.”

Sex ads purchased

According to court records, Dupuy took photos from one woman’s Facebook page and posted them as advertisements on Backpage.com offering escort and sex services.
