Former Sandusky County Prosecutor Facing Sexualy Harassment Lawsuit

portclintonnewsherald.com

Former Sandusky County Prosecutor Tim Braun is facing a federal lawsuit by four women who worked in his office. 

The women accuse Braun of creating a hostile work environment, making sexist comments and inappropriately touching them. The suit names another  prosecuting attorney, County Commissioners and the County as co-defendants. None of the defendants have commented. Braun resigned earlier this year after he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge for sexually harassing female employees. The Sandusky County Republican Party voted in December to ask Braun to resign. Ohio's governor and attorney general, both Republicans,  had been pressuring Braun to step down as well.

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.
