Sexting Prosecutor Claims Immunity

• NBC News
The former Calumet County district attorney who resigned after a sexting scandal says he's immune from a civil lawsuit filed by a crime victim who claims he sexually harassed her.

Ken Kratz says he was a public official at the time of the alleged harassment. He's claiming absolute immunity and qualified immunity. Those are legal doctrines that shield government officials in certain cases from being sued for a violation of a person's constitutional rights.
