To catch a pred-DA-tor...
Ayy yo,
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this tidbit of juicy gossip: Ken Kratz resigns as Calumet County (Wisconsin) District Attorney.
Never heard of him you say?! Well neither did I until I read the story (http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20101004/GPG0101/101004091/Ken-Kratz-resigns-as-Calumet-Co-DA) about him taking on a domestic abuse case of a woman who was allegedly abused by her boyfriend and while preparing her case, he began to hit on her for some xes! 
I know... Wow is right. Skan-less even! Let's listen in on some of the passionate texts messages that he forwarded to her as I analyze some of his moves. Here is some of what this hi-tech new age Romeo fowarded to her (her responses were withheld because she didn't do anything wrong):
Kratz: It was nice talking with you! Feel free to text me (between 8 and 4) if you are bored. You have such potential. See ya. KEN (your favorite DA).
Okay that one had a nice rosy upbeat message that didn't appear misleading at all.
Kratz: Ok. We'll go with that answer. Thanks for putting up with me so far. I wish you weren't one of this office's clients. You'd be a cool person to know!
Subtle yet smooth with a hint of cover my azz. A definite direction changer though.
Kratz: Oh no. I hope you feel better. Do you need me to bring some chicken soup.
Oh that's so kind of him in a creepy Mommy-I-don't-like-Uncle-Ken-anymore sort of way. I swear if she wasn't over 18 he'd sound like a potential ped-o-phile right about now.
Kratz: I know this is wrong. I am such a honest guy, and straight shooter...but I have to know more about you. Does that make sense to you? I bet u get this a lot!
Oh boy! He's trying to bring the heat now, Yo. You sly untrustworthy dog...
Kratz: Ok. No problem. Either way I think you are very nice. I am very smart, but know this is ALL up to you and really does depend how close to the edge you live!
Did you break your arm patting yourself on the back in the middle of her complement? Sheesh. More CYA though. Did you see that? Hey he's a slick slimy lawyer. He probably bathes in oil.
Kratz: You don't say much, do you?
Flag on the play! 
See that right there is a BIG DAYUM clue that she's not sure about getting to know you outside of her case because you're supposed to be helping her with her case nothing more. Yet he perserveres to try and prey on her confused state.
Kratz: Hey..Miss Communication, what's with the sticking point? Your low self-esteem and you fear you can't successfully play in my big sandbox? Or???
That's right, Big Ken give her a passive aggressive pet name early on. 
Women love that. 
Now tell her how worthless you think she is and how you can save her from all of that. Be a man. A disgusting low-life sort of man. Don't think of her feelings.
Kratz: Are you serious? Ok? That's it? Are you busy? Are you in a board meeting? You are beautiful and would make a great young partner someday. But I won't beg! I'm serious! Im the atty. I have the $350,000 house. I have the 6-figure career. You may have the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize! Start convincing.
Did he just get jealous on her all of a sudden. What's with the 3rd degree because she didn't hit you back right away? He sure does loves to see the little red light on his blackberry flash on and off alerting him to a msg doesn't he?
Kratz: I'm serious! Im the atty. I have the $350,000 house. I have the 6-figure career. You may have the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize! Start convincing.
Correction: Your monkey-azz had the 6-figure career, you slimey bastid. My only wish is that they would disbar you for unethical behavior toward your clients to boot.
How can anyone be sooooooo ignorant to put their stupidity in writing...........maybe it was horny and not ignorance that caused him to send these text messages.
I wonder how many other women he got in the sack during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives. So sad.
Change is a Process Not an Event
Yeah those two usually go hand in hand.
I can't believe he actually brought up her self esteem I wonder if he thought that would go over big????
It's definitely a pyschological ploy if you ask me: I build up your self-esteem and what will you give me in return?

Now don't go knocking the new way we Americans have finally started communicating with the person sitting right next to us in the livingroom, pokerchips.
It's bad enough that we can't talk to each other out of our mouths without immediately hurting each other's feelings and now you wanna put a ban on texting. Jeez. In all seriousness though, I think using the company-issued blackberry to convey the warm feelings in his pants to her was how he lost his job.

That's the scary part. He had a position of trust and clearly abused it. STONE HIM!!!

There were several cases in NY back in the early 1990's where doctors abused their trust with patients:
- an OB/GYN was taking photos of his patients while they undressed in the examination room.
- another OB/GYN was examining his patients and "mastering bait" while he examined them.
- But the real bonus prize winner was the dentist who was giving his female patients knock out gas and then impregnating them while they were under sedation.
Real talk!
