Last week I discussed the case of Ken Kratz, the District Attorney of Calumet County Wisconsin who was accused of sending sexually abusive text messages to a victim in a domestic violence case.

Kratz’s response seemed to be that he made an innocent mistake. He refused to resign. He said, “(I hope) my entire career won’t be judged on a single series of text messages. But I know it will be.” He admitted the behavior was inappropriate but he said it came from a lapse of judgment in a career of being “a zealous advocate” for victims of crime.

But allegations have come forward of at least two other women, one a law student who he helped clear her record and the other another victim of domestic violence who he abused with text messages. If these are true it is hardly a single lapse of judgment but a pattern of sexual misconduct.

Kratz is now on medical leave and the governor is looking for ways to remove him from office.

Kratz should be looking for a good criminal defense attorney to defend him against possible stalking charges and to defend him before the state bar for bringing discredit to the bar.
