Indiana Attorney Disbarred for Harassing Ex-girlfriend

iNDIANAPOLIS (AP) – An attorney accused of harassing and threatening a woman for years with emails and profanity-laced voice mails after she ended their relationship has been disbarred by Indiana's high court. 

The Indiana Supreme Court said Tuesday that Ronald Mark Keaton demonstrated a “repugnant pattern of behavior and utter lack of remorse'' for his harassment of the woman, who was his daughter's college roommate.

The barrage of threats included unfounded accusations she had a mental illness and drug problems. 

The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/1Jx5uHq ) the threats began in 2008 and continued for a few years despite several pleas from the woman for the Fort Wayne attorney to leave her alone.

She obtained a protective order against Keaton in April 2010. He was charged with felony stalking, but those charges were later dismissed.
