The Washington county prosecutor accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a female kidnapping victim in his office has been convicted of coercion but acquitted of a sex charge. 

Prosecutor Kevin Rings was found guilty Friday of coercion but acquitted of sexual imposition. The Ohio Attorney General's Office, which prosecuted the case, has said the woman was both a witness in one case and a defendant in another.  Sentencing is scheduled May 16. Rings, a Republican, plans to appeal.
