A 35-year-old Suring, Wisconsin man has been charged with child sex offenses on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
According to a federal indictment, William C. Wilber IV engaged in sex acts with two teenage girls near a family property on Legend Lake on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
Count One of the indictment charges Wilber with engaging in a sex act with a 14-year-old girl in the spring of 2015. Counts Two and Three relate to Wilber engaging in sex acts with a 15-year-old girl in the summer of 2015 and fall of 2016.
The charges are in violation of 18, United States Code, Sections 2243(a) and 1153(a). If convicted, Wilber faces a maximum sentence of up to 15 years’ imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, at least 5 years of supervised release, and a $5,000 special assessment, on each of the three counts.
The case was investigated by the Menominee Tribal Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Andrew J. Maier.
It’s worth noting that an indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
