Wis. prosecutor pleads no contest

MADISON, Wis. - A former Wisconsin prosecutor accused of rampant sexual harassment agreed Friday to plead no contest to six ethics violations, moving his case closer to resolution.

The Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a complaint in November against Ken Kratz, a former Calumet County District Attorney, alleging 11 breaches of state Supreme Court attorney conduct rules. The office accused him of soliciting a domestic abuse victim in a barrage of sleazy text messages, forcing a woman he prosecuted to have sex with him, and making sexual remarks to other women. The office urged the court to suspend Kratz’s law license for six months.
