Oregon AG Indicts Prosecutor on Sex-Related Charges

Overton's comment was definitely inappropriate but this is something that should be handled by discipline from his employer and the Oregon State Bar. If she was harmed by the comment, she could also sue but c'mon man, up to a YEAR in jail ? He clearly misread what he perceived to be a signal. He was wrong but what he did does not warrant criminal prosecution. Is this the type of law enforcement my tax dollars are paying for ? If so, I don't want to pay for it. Someone in Salem needs to get his priorities straight. This guy just needs counseling not jail.

Editor: I'm sorry, but I saw the redacted brief on this and there are numerous charges.  You think someone in a trusted position charged with enforcing the law should not face his peers and simply see what happens?  Didn't he create these circumstances?  We write frequently about the problems from cops sticking together, but John Kroger was a Marine, and he doesn't apparently overlook crimes because the person is another officer of the courts.  Regarding this case, I should probably publish more of this, you might feel differently.  I just reserve a particular contempt for those who roam in the halls of hypocrisy; cops, prosecutors, teachers and clergy man, and live illegal lives.  I'm sure you agree.
