Prosecutor claims public records battle has compelled her to hire another staffer

In a motion seeking to dismiss a citizen’s request for a court order in a legal dispute over public records, the Hocking County Prosecutor’s office claims that plaintiff Melanie Ogle is pursuing her litigation “for the sole purpose of harassing the office of the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney and wasting taxpayer money.” The motion complains that Ogle “continues to bombard the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney’s office with frivolous and baseless public records requests and litigation to the point where the prosecutor has been forced to hire an additional assistant prosecutor.” Ogle, who lives in Rockbridge, submitted a public records request to the prosecutor’s office in June 2025, seeking records related to past criminal cases involving her and her husband. She found the office’s response unsatisfactory, and filed a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims. In May of this year that court ruled that Ogle’s records request was “overly broad and unenforceable.” She then appealed that ruling to Ohio’s Fourth District Court of Appeals, and is also seeking a writ of mandamus to compel Prosecutor Jennifer Graham to produce the records Ogle has asked for. As it has done in other court filings, however, the prosecutor’s office continues to insist
