CINCINNATI — John Klosterman, the 71-year-old longtime Cincinnati landlord accused of repeatedly violating a civil stalking order for his former tenant, has been found guilty on multiple charges.

Klosterman has allegedly failed to pay $167,125 in damages he's been ordered to pay to 20 women who accused him of sexually harassing them. The payment requirement was a part of a Consent Decree passed down by federal prosecutors, who said he also failed to make good on the stipulation prohibiting him from managing rental housing and interacting with tenants.

He is scheduled to be sentenced for the stalking-related charges on Aug. 16.
