DAYTON BAR ASSOCIATION v. SAMS.

Attorneys at law — Misconduct — Six-month suspension — Engaging in illegal conduct involving moral turpitude — Waiver of fees in exchange for sexual encounters.

Per Curiam.

We concur with the board's findings and its recommendation. Accordingly, respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for six months. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

MOYER, C.J., SWEENEY, HOLMES, DOUGLAS and H. BROWN, JJ., concur.

WRIGHT and RESNICK, JJ., dissent.

WRIGHT, J., dissenting.

I must respectfully dissent. Respondent's gross violations of DR 1-102(A)(3) and DR 1-102(A)(6) were too serious to merit the sanction invoked by the majority. I would suspend respondent at a minimum for an eighteen-month period, and I would consider a period of probation thereafter.

RESNICK, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
