Neb. Landlord Ordered to Pay Women $66K for Demanding Sex in Lieu of Rent
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A landlord was ordered to pay more than $66,000 in damages Thursday to 10 women who accused him of violating federal Fair Housing laws by demanding sex in lieu of rent.
The award against John Koch was far less than the $1.9 million the U.S. Justice Department had sought.

Federal officials filed a civil suit against Koch after about 20 women - many of them low-income and desperate to find housing - accused him of demanding sexual favors as far back as 1996 in lieu of such things as rent, late rent charges and security deposits.

Koch, who owns 43 rental houses in Omaha, also was accused of inappropriately touching female tenants, entering their homes without notice and stealing items if they rejected his advances.

3. That happened in WI and the guy ended up dead
so this guy should be happy.

It happened about 20 years ago in Oshkosh, two women were paying their rent with sex and they got tired of it.

5. Impossible, it is a blue state and that never would happen there.
Sorry, I am just very tire of everything being related to the election, didn't intend to imply anything about your post as much as just vent a little about the absurdity of others comments I have been seeing for the past month.

8. It doesn't help, it is ridiculous to imply a connection.
Are there no crimes in blue states or are you delusional enough to believe only Reps. commit crimes?

9. Are you serious?
I was being sarcastic and I thought you were too. There isn't anyone that thinks Republicans commit all the crimes. Most criminals are apolitical. They think differently then the average guy. They feel the world owes them and they have every right to take what they want using any method necessary - maybe that's the connection between criminals and republicans.

10. Sorry, my sarcasm radar has been dulled by folk who actually mean
the insane disconnects they spew. I will keep your name in mind as a clue for myself and try to be more astute.
