Wisconsin ? A Wisconsin district attorney said Friday he’ll get therapy and take time off but rejected growing calls for his resignation over sexual text messages he sent to a domestic abuse victim.

At a news conference two days after The Associated Press reported the messages, Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz offered a “sincere and heartfelt apology” to the woman, his soon-to-be-ex-wife and the public. He said the messages demonstrated arrogance.

The statement marked the most remorse Kratz has shown since acknowledging Wednesday he sent 30 text messages in three days to the 26-year-old woman last October, causing her to report the harassment to police.

In one, the 50-year-old asked whether she was “the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA.” In others he called her a “tall, young, hot nymph” and questioned whether her “low self-esteem” was to blame for her lack of interest. At the time, he was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend on strangulation charges.
