Marc Dann can’t practice in federal court for 6 months

COLUMBUS

Former Attorney General Marc Dann had his law license suspended in federal court for six months.

The decision by U.S. Judge Edmund A. Sargus Jr. comes after the Ohio Supreme Court suspended Dann’s license for six months in November 2012. Dann, a Democrat formerly of Liberty, doesn’t have any pending federal cases.

Dann resigned in May 2008 as attorney general after a sex scandal in his office that became public after two women working in the office made sexual harassment allegations against one of Dann’s hand-picked managers. Dann was found guilty in May 2010 of two misdemeanor-ethics violations, making him subject to sanctions from the state Supreme Court.
