Wis. governor, once a prosecutor, says he’s troubled by district attorney who ’sexted’ victim

Wis. governor says he’s troubled by ’sexting’ DA

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle made a long political career as a no-nonsense prosecutor standing up for victims.

Now, the lame-duck governor now must deal with what to do about a district attorney who sent racy text message to a domestic abuse victim.

An outraged Doyle said Monday he would start the process to consider removing Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz and that he hopes to make a decision in a month.

Doyle is a former district attorney and attorney general who leaves the governor’s office in January.

Kratz has acknowledged sending 30 text messages in three days last year to a woman while he was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend in an abuse case.

Doyle says he’s deeply troubled by what happened.
