Kenneth Kratz was already in trouble for allegedly "sexting" one of his clients: Now that two more women have come forward, the prominent Wisconsin DA is in even hotter water. Maria Ruskiewicz claims she met Kratz in 2008 to see about getting a drug-conviction pardon, and he quickly started sending her text messages implying he wanted a sexual relationship in return. Another woman also came forward last week claiming Kratz invited her to an autopsy—“provided I act as his girlfriend and would wear high heels and a skirt.”
Ruskiewicz, who was pardoned last month, came forward after hearing about victim Stephanie Van Groll. “He abuses his power, not only with women, but with women in certain situations who are extremely vulnerable to his authority," she tells the AP. Though Kratz has rejected calls to resign, he went on medical leave Monday and says he will stay on it indefinitely.
