LANSING, Mich. – A state prosecutor who lost his job after having a relationship with a woman in an assault case isn’t entitled to unemployment benefits. An administrative law judge with the state of Michigan says Brian Kolodziej’s “misconduct has been established.” Kolodziej was an assistant attorney general until he was forced out in September. He acknowledged having an intimate relationship with a woman while he was handling her sexual assault case in Isabella County but said it was consensual. Attorney General Dana Nessel called it “incredibly disturbing.”

DETROIT – Attorney General Dana Nessel dropped charges Monday against two men in suburban Detroit and said a former Central Michigan University student should be allowed to withdraw from a plea bargain after an investigation found misconduct by a prosecutor who handled sexual assault cases. Defense attorney Joe Barberi said he hopes he can reach a new agreement with the attorney general’s office. Kolodziej, a former TV and film actor, joined the attorney general’s office in 2018, before Nessel became attorney general. Barberi said Elliott pleaded no contest due to mounting legal bills and adverse pretrial rulings about evidence. Barberi said the attorney general’s office decided to pursue Elliott after local prosecutors dropped charges.
