Judy Alvarez is a tech person whose main job is editing braindances, VR tech that lets you feel the emotions of the person who recorded it
She is shown as caring about others, a bad sign in a cynical game

She is shown complaining about how the Mox's are now mostly just a business that does not really care about sex workers who aren't part of the gang
Her questline begins with a main quest where you go to a brothel

At this brothel, you discover her friend, Evelyn, who was also the one who came up with the heist to steal an important plot thing at the beginning of the game, had her body destroyed by a cyber attack

It is revealed she was raped by the manager of the brothel before being given to an absurdly sleazy ripper doc who sold her to people making snuff videos
The ripper doc looks like this:

You go on a quest to find her in a snuff producing torture facility
It is revealed Evelyn is traumatized by all that happened and is unresponsive
Because this is a shit game, they use it to kill Evelyn off through suicide

Evelyn kills herself while Judy is away from the apartment Evelyn is at for maximum trauma
This makes Judy want to make the brothel a place where that stuff will never happen. Foolish woman, wanting to improve society

You go to negotiate with the person who now manages the brothel, at least if you killed the previous manager and probably even if you didn't
The current manager is Judy's ex-girlfriend because of course

Judy's ex is ambitious and scheming. She is shown to be less horrific than the previous manager, which is not hard.

Eventually a plan forms where the brothel will be taken over simultaneously with breaking into the apartment where the nominal actual manager of the brothel is meeting higher ups of the gang that owns the brothel

This plan includes using cyber tech to consensually program at least two sex workers to automatically respond to threats
The potential ethical problems involving things like lack of control over it are glanced at but mostly ignored

It is mostly used as a justification for why they can beat up all the guards at the brothel
Your job for the take over is to go to the apartment with Judy's ex and force the gang to give up the brothel

After some shenanigans, it turns out, surprise, the ambitious woman really wants to move up in the gang instead of making the brothel independent! WOW, WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THAT!
She justifies it as being about practicality

I responded by telling her to go to hell and beating her and the gang members up but not killing them
The game treated me as killing them regardless
Of course the other option was to agree with the ex's idea at that point

So it ended for me with the brothel becoming independent from the garbage gang
Except this is a cynical game
You later get a call from Judy and go do some stuff at an old lake house and get some unimportant backstory before

she reveals that the brothel was attacked, a minor character was killed off screen, and that the brothel is shut down for at least now because fuck you for thinking it might get a good ending
You have no option of helping her with that

You can at this point console her with words or by fucking her if the PC is a woman
The option I ended up picking involved V saying this
This was with her having been sobbing in a bathroom because of the terrible shit that happened

So the quest ends with the entire brothel part being settled as having gone to shit offscreen
Maybe you got the romance with Judy because you decided it was a good idea to fuck her while she was extremely emotionally vulnerable

The game literally frames making the brothel a collective if you reject Judy's ex's proposal
Because I didn't take a screenshot of one of the choices while playing, here is one from Eurogamer:

There is a bunch of other terrible stuff I could mention that happened in this quest line like Johnny being completely awful in every way
In case anybody actually read through all of this, the het romance option for men does not end with everything going to shit and instead ends with things being pretty hopeful despite doing way more things likely to go to hell
