Roe v. Wade, (1973) was a civil case so there was no defendant. The nominal respondent, Henry B. Wade, was the District Attorney of Dallas County, Texas. Wade was named because of the office he occupied; the real "defendant" would have been the State of Texas, but states have immunity from being sued (per the Eleventh Amendment).
The consequence of the decision was that the Texas anti-abortion law was overturned. There were no known personal consequences for Henry Wade or anyone else on the respondent side of the case.
