FREMONT, Ohio (AP) – A county prosecutor in Ohio who had been accused of sexually harassing female employees before pleading guilty to a lesser charge has resigned from office.
Sandusky County Prosecutor Tim Braun sent in his resignation Friday. Ohio’s governor and attorney general had been pressuring Braun to step down.
He faced a hearing next week as part of their attempt to remove him from office. Braun pleaded guilty to negligent assault in early December as part of a plea deal that allowed him to keep his salary through next June but also barred him from working in his office.
