Kratz wrote women suggestive text messages like “Are you the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA … the riskier the better?” Another received this lovely missive: “I’m the attorney. I have the $350,000 house. I have the six-figure career. You may be the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize.”
It is certainly true that I have been out of the market for about two decades but I don’t remember bringing real estate estimates to bare as a pick up line. Of course, I would never think that inviting a woman to the morgue to check out a dead girl was a turn on — a prosecutorial version of “would you like to come up stairs to look at my etchings.” Kratz was accused of learning pick up lines from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
At a hearing on Tuesday, the OLR is expected to seek a six-month suspension of the ex-Calumet County DA’s law license, and Kratz is expected to ask for lesser punishment.
No criminal charges were brought even though he was accused of forcing a woman he prosecuted to have sex with him.
Other charges will be dropped as a result of the plea and Kratz issued a statement that he was “doing everything within my power to put this ordeal behind me.” He may be premature. The bar prosecutors are seeking a six-month suspension.
Kratz resigned from his $105,000 district attorney post in October 2010 after the disclosure of 30 text messages to a 25-year-old woman in 2009. They were to a domestic abuse victim that Kratz called a “hot nymph.” She filed a police complaint but saw no charges.
