LOGAN, Ohio (WCMH) — Hocking County’s outgoing top prosecutor is facing new allegations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, according to documents filed with the Ohio Supreme Court.

Hocking County Prosecutor Ryan R. Black, who resigned the seat effective April 19, is already the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in February.

The new allegations, filed on April 3 with the Ohio Supreme Court Board of Professional Conduct, come from people not mentioned in the sexual harassment lawsuit; one of those complaints involves a then-Hocking County Commissioner.

In the complaint, Black is accused of “erratic” behavior often consisting of “screaming outbursts” and “refus[ing] to speak to staff members for several days,” and of making sexually charged comments to women working in his office.

The first count of the new complaint, inappropriate sexual conduct with employees, details an assistant prosecutor alleging Black “frequently made inappropriate sexual comments” to her and about her to others; once, in March 2021, those comments ventured into lewd territory about her dress and how it made him want to perform sexual acts to her. Another instance detailed in the complaint alleges Black said the woman’s phone number was written inside a bathroom stall at the Hocking County Sheriff’s office and that everyone at the office should have it. The woman resigned her position in November 2021.

As part of this count, the new complaint includes details from one of the plaintiffs who filed the sexual harassment lawsuit and how she felt coerced by Black into a sexual relationship due to his position as her boss.

Another accusation in the complaint, inappropriate sexual relationship with client, states Black was engaged in a sexual act with then-Hocking County Commissioner Jessica Dicken in August 2023 when the two were caught by Black’s fiance. As the legal advisor for the board of commissioners, it is a violation of Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct and the Ohio bar association to engage in such a sexual relationship. Dicken is still being paid by the county, but is no longer serving as commissioner after being indicted on several theft, fraud and money laundering felonies in September 2023.

A third count, inappropriate use of office, alleges Black tried to use his power of office to force the county’s IT director to respond to his office after Black moved several of the computers and caused them not to work. Black allegedly threatened the IT director with arrest for obstructing official business.

Black faces sanctions up to and including disbarment should the disciplinary board rule against him. He has until April 23 to file his answer to the complaint.
