An attorney who was suspended from practicing law after being convicted of groping random women on the Upper East Side and in lower Manhattan may now apply for reinstatement to the bar. A panel of the Appellate Division, Second Department, ruled Wednesday in Matter of Kraft, 2013-10852, to suspend Paul David Kraft, 33, from practicing law for one year but gave him credit for time served.

The Second Department had ordered Kraft’s immediate suspension in April 2014, thus allowing him to apply for reinstatement while requiring him to furnish proof that he did not practice law during his suspension or dispense legal advice and that he “otherwise properly conducted himself.”
