Explain how a judge's immunity would be abrogated based on the wretchedness of the punishment he chose in such a way that would allow him to be sued by the victim?
He can't rape her in his chambers, but he could pass a sentence of public rape, and the recourse would be an emergency stay and appeal, not a lawsuit against the judge personally. He's acting maliciously within his jurisdiction, which is covered by judicial immunity.
For some reason, I originally thought you were suggesting that the Judge would have immunity from prosecution from a criminal charge as well
