ONG Major Sentenced For Abusing Children

Union County Prosecutor's Office

An Ohio National Guard Major convicted of sexually abusing three adopted daughters in his Marysville home has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. 42-year-old Jean Kruse must also register as a sex offender. Kruse was convicted last month of 15 counts. His wife Emily testified she never saw signs of the abuse. She has pleaded not guilty to obstruction, tampering with evidence and witness tampering charges. She goes on trial later this month.

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.
