A woman who was sent sexually oriented text messages from the prosecutor on her domestic-abuse abuse case filed suit Friday, alleging that her constitutional rights were violated, according to the Associated Press.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Milwaukee by Stephanie Van Groll, 26.
Ex-Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz had texted Van Groll 30 times last year trying to convince her to have an affair with him while he was prosecuting her former boyfriend for trying to strangle her.
The suit, seeking unspecificed damages, claims that under Wisconsin law witnesses have a right to be protected from any harm that results from their cooperation with authorities.
