Guard Major Charged With Abusing Children

An Ohio National Guard Major currently serving in Kuwait has been indicted in Union County for sexually abusing at least three children in his care. 40-year-old Major Jean Kruse allegedly assaulted the children in his home, where he and his wife lived with eleven kids. Some were Kruse's biological children, some were step-children and some were adopted children. They have all been removed from the home. His wife Emily has been charged with witness intimidation and obstructing justice.
