Caledonia man charged with child sex assault and possessing child porn

From The Journal Times.com:


RACINE — A 44-year-old Caledonia man was charged Tuesday with one count of repeated sexual assault of a child and four counts of possessing child pornography.

Each charge is a felony.

If convicted of the assault charge, Patrick Hagen could spend at least 25 years in prison.

The pornography charges carry up to a $100,000 fine, a 25-year prison sentence, or both. The court can also impose a $500 surcharge for each image or copy of an image recovered.

According to the criminal complaint, a girl who is now 13, alleged that Hagen inappropriately touched her on multiple occasions during visits to Caledonia when she was 10 years old.

Police searched Kagen’s residence and reportedly found four images depicting child pornography and hundreds of images depicting beastiality.

Kagen reportedly denied the assault charges.

His cash bail was set at $100,000 on Tuesday, and he is expected to appear in the Racine County Courthouse for a preliminary hearing Oct. 9.

I have said for years that SE Wisconsin is a hotbed of pedophilia.  The recent spate of arrests for sex crimes against children is proof of that.
