Reading through these reports, imnsho, this man purposefully put forth his position as DA, to set up a power imbalance.
Moreover, he repeatedly noted that he was chairman of the Crime Victims Rights Board, to support his claim that he was pro-victim. His chronic behavior, however, indicates otherwise.
That is, imnsho, he fits the profile of the sort of predators who place themselves in situations that will bring them in contact with their preferred victim type. In this case, crime victims.
One thing that is especially troubling, for lack of a better descriptor, is that this man prosecuted cases involving sex crimes against minors.
Take for example, the so-called "
Hilbert Sex Ring." I was unable to find much on that case but what I did find, and as bad as it was, it doesn't really meet the criteria for a sex ring. I would argue that [
that] characterization, once again, came from the man's sex obsessed mind.
Then there's the allegation from the
DOJ part 3 record, where he inappropriately questioned a 17 year old who was the victim of a registered sex offender.
As for other questionable behaviors?
There is, of course, his lurid murder fantasy press release regarding Ms. Halbach's death. And while she obviously wasn't a minor when she died, she appears to be fairly small in stature and this man repeatedly slipped up and referred to her as a "
little girl."
Then there is the incident where he invited his date to attend the autopsy of a crime victim, as long as she wears heels. This is not only creepy but quite inappropriate. While the victim may be dead, that he would want to bring a "
date" to gawk at her autopsy... as if it's some form of morbid entertainment, is nothing short of appalling.
Such grossly inappropriate behavior also provides a glimpse into this man's psyche.
Notably, not once, in the aforementioned instances, does this man's behavior indicate in any way whatsoever, that he is truly a victim's rights advocate.
That aside, the irony in this whole mess, imnsho, is you have one
sexual predator prosecuting another sexual predator (
i.e., SA). Extremely ironic, imho.
P.s. and fyi, it appears he is still up to his same old crap. I did a search for the nym he used on match.com and found a profile on a "
casual sex" site where he mentions BDSM & his high heels fetish, which is not dissimilar to the claim in
DOJ report 3. At first I wasn't sure it was him bc the listed location is West Bend, WI, and from the DOJ report, he apparently lives in Appleton, WI. As it turns out, his law office is located in West Bend, so I'm more than sure it is his ad.
