LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- A landlord went on trial Monday over accusations he demanded sex once a week from a woman who wanted to rent a house from him.
"Let's put it on the table ... once a week sounds good," a man identified as John Koch tells the woman on the tape.
The Justice Department has brought civil action against Koch for allegedly demanding sexual favors from women tenants -- many of them low-income and desperate to find housing -- in lieu of such things as rent and security deposits.

Query - is there precedent for both (i) sending him to jail and (ii) enforcing the contract against him (i.e.: enforcing the waiver the women's rent and/or security deposits)?
And - only civil action? Isn't that criminal?
