In Wisconsin, a 65-Year-Old Man Can Be Charged With a Felony for Having Sex With a 16-Year-Old Girl — But If the Lights Are Off, It’s Probably a Misdemeanor
Note: Explicate Descriptions Below State of Wisconsin — Wisconsin’s criminal code contains a gap so absurd that it sounds invented. It isn’t. It’s sitting in black and white in Chapter 948 of the Wisconsin Statutes, and as far as this publication can tell, no one in Madison has ever bothered to close it. Here is the plain-English version. Under Wis. Stat. § 948.09, an adult who has consensual sexual intercourse with a 16- or 17-year-old — someone below the state’s effective age of consent but above the threshold where the law treats the conduct as child sexual assault — is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Maximum penalty: nine months in jail, a $10,000 fine. No mandatory sex offender registration. That’s the law as written, and it applies whether the

Wisconsin Examiner Calls Itself “Nonpartisan.” Its Deputy Editor Erik Gunn’s Own Words Tell A Different Story : Opinion
KENOSHA, Wis. — Wisconsin Examiner Deputy Editor Erik Gunn (D) is apparently working on another story involving me. I don’t know what the story is, what supposed news event prompted it, or why Gunn remains so interested in me. I asked him. He wouldn’t tell me. On Tuesday, Gunn told me that neither he nor his editor would provide any comment for this story. That’s their right. It’s also my right to take a closer look at the journalist who is taking a closer look at me. And after reviewing Gunn’s public social-media activity and years of Wisconsin Examiner coverage, I have reached a pretty simple conclusion: Erik Gunn is a liberal partisan hack activist pretending to be a neutral journalist while working for a publication that advertises itself as

Three Repeat Offenders Charged After Wild 132 MPH Kenosha County Chase, Squad-Ramming And Violent Crash Injures Three: $50,000 Cash Bail Each
Sable Russell, 34, Ace Leo Frank, 34, of Elkhart, Indiana, and Cody Luigi Frank, 22, of Hudson(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SOMERS, Wis. — Three people are facing a combined 30-plus criminal charges after prosecutors say an attempt to arrest a wanted felon at a Kenosha Walmart erupted into two simultaneous high-speed police chases, a rammed sheriff’s squad, a 100-plus-mph pursuit through Kenosha County, a violent crash that injured three innocent people and a second chase into Illinois that ended with a suspect running into the woods. Charged are Ace Leo Frank, 34, of Elkhart, Indiana; Sable Russell, 34, whose residence is listed as unknown; and Cody Luigi Frank, 22, of Hudson, Wisconsin. All three are charged as repeat offenders.

Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum Dismisses Child-Enticement Case Against 19-Year-Old Accused Of Trying To Have Sex With 13-Year-Old
Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SALEM LAKES, Wis. — Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum dismissed a Class D felony child-enticement case Tuesday against Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes, who prosecutors alleged was trying to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. According to information obtained confidentially by KCE from a Kenosha County courthouse insider, Kellum dismissed the charge because he believed the alleged enticement had to actually be completed. Wisconsin’s child-enticement statute, however, expressly includes an attempt to cause a child to enter a vehicle, building, room or secluded place for an unlawful sexual purpose. We know that Kellum is sympathetic to violent criminals and repeat OWI convict, but this suggests that he may be sympathetic to alleged sex offenders.

Federal Judge Buries Mt. Pleasant Man’s AI-Generated RICO Case After Judge Wilk Allowed Eviction Fight To Spiral Out Of Control
KENOSHA, Wis. — A federal judge has dismissed with prejudice a Mt. Pleasant man’s latest attempt to transform a Kenosha eviction dispute into a sprawling racketeering conspiracy, finding that his entirely AI-generated lawsuit failed to state a legitimate federal claim. U.S. District Judge Brett H. Ludwig dismissed Patrick Fagan’s case Friday, August 21, after Fagan sued 10 named defendants and five John Does under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as RICO. “Fagan’s amended complaint appears to have been generated using Artificial Intelligence and, despite his efforts to plead his way into federal court, the facts alleged confirm that his federal claims are without merit,” Ludwig wrote. The complaint did not merely “appear” to be AI-generated. Fagan acknowledged in court that he uses artificial intelligence to

Kenosha Police Officer’s Attempt To Use Court To Force Promotion May Soon Be Coming To An End
KENOSHA, Wis. — When a police officer earns his sergeant chevrons, lieutenant bars or captain bars, they usually come from the police chief, not a federal judge. A chief calls an officer into the office and gives them the news: Congratulations. You’re being promoted. Kenosha County Eye is not aware of a case locally where an officer has tried another route to those coveted chevrons: suing his employer and asking a federal court to conclude that the reason he didn’t get them was illegal discrimination. But that is essentially the battle longtime Kenosha Police Officer Peter Percak, who legally changed his name to Pep Moretti in May 2011 and has also gone by “Demon Pep,” has been fighting for years. Percak says he should have been promoted to sergeant and

Judge David Wilk Creates Dangerous Social-Media Loophole In Bizarre Restraining-Order Ruling: Opinion
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge David Wilk recently issued a bizarre ruling that weakens a restraining order Wilk personally granted and creates a dangerous social-media loophole for future violators. The case involved a person protected by a restraining order who was repeatedly contacted on the protected person’s own social-media account by the person subject to that order. Ownership and control of the account were never disputed. The communications tagged the protected person’s account and used insulting language directed unmistakably at the protected person. The protected person was called a “fucking idiot,” “pussy ass bitch,” “retarded,” and “bunk ass.” All clear violations. This was actual contact. The respondent deliberately entered the protected person’s social-media account and posted communications directed at the protected person. Wilk nevertheless denied contempt because
