'Sexting' Wisconsin Prosecutor Resigns

News9.com

MADISON, Wisconsin -- A Wisconsin prosecutor who tried to spark an affair with a domestic violence victim has resigned.

The Associated Press reported last month that Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz sent 30 text messages to a domestic abuse victim while he prosecuted her ex-boyfriend on a strangulation charge.

Gov. Jim Doyle began the process to remove Kratz from office about two weeks ago. His attorney said last week he would resign before this Friday.

Kratz issued a statement to the media on Monday saying he has lost the confidence of the people he represents. He also apologized to his family for embarrassing them.
