Former ONG Major Appeals Sexual Assault Convition

Union County Prosecutor's Office

A former Ohio National Guard Major from Marysville is appealing his conviction of sexually abusing three adopted daughters. The attorney for 43-year-old Jean Kruse says the court wrongly denied him funding for an expert witness and the evidence didn't support the conviction. He also is claiming he had ineffective legal counsel. He was sentenced to life in prison but denied abusing the girls. His wife Emily, who was sentenced to 18 months for obstruction, testified she never saw signs of abuse.

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.
