ONG Major Pleads Not Guilty Following New Indictment

Union County Sheriff

The attorney for an Ohio National Guard Major has entered a not guilty plea to updated charges that his client sexually abused three adopted daughters and a stepdaughter and sent a fourth adopted daughter out of state and threatened the remaining  children with a similar fate to silence them.  The attorney for Jean Kruse entered the plea Thursday, leading to the cancellation of today's arraignment on a new 35-count indictment.  Kruse and his wife previously pleaded not guilty to charges of abusing the children in their Marysville home.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
