Rebecca Hietpas, a Calumet County social worker, described emails from Kratz as “creepy,” including one in which he wrote, “You can either flirt with me or not — you can’t have it both ways.”
Melissa Ruskiewicz, who approached Kratz for help in receiving a pardon for a drug conviction, said she was “freaked out” by a text message from him that asked how she would “please him between the sheets.”
