HOUSTON -- A U.S. district judge was indicted Thursday on three counts stemming from sexual harassment accusations from a courtroom coworker, KPRC Local 2 reported Thursday.

A federal grand jury returned the indictments against Judge Samuel Kent after more than a yearlong investigation.

Kent is charged with two counts of abusive sexual contact and one count of attempted aggravated sexual abuse.

The charges stem from complaints filed in May 2007 by Kent's former case manager in Galveston. Her attorney said the judge twice touched her inappropriately and propositioned her in his office.

Kent received a reprimand in September and was reassigned and transferred to a court in Houston.

He was suspended several months ago.
