47-Year-Old Glendale Man Faces 80 Years for 'Inappropriately Touching' Daughter for 7 Years

GLENDALE, WI — A 47-year-old Glendale man faces up to 80 years behind bars after being charged with the repeated sexual assault of his daughter.

The Glendale man, whose name is being withheld from this story to protect the identity of the daughter, is currently out of custody, has been formally charged, and is awaiting his initial appearance in court.

The man has been charged with repeated sexual assault of a child and first-degree child sexual assault-sexual intercourse with a child less than 13 years of age.

According to his criminal complaint, On March 13 Glendale Police spoke with the man's 12-year-old daughter. During this conversation she reported that her father had been touching her “privates” since she was 5 years old.

The daughter stated that her father touched her repeatedly under her pants with his hands. When asked how often this happened the daughter stated “all the time” and that it would happen when their mother was not around, his criminal complaint stated.

According to his criminal complaint, during a subsequent Forensic Interview, the daughter reported incidents taking place in the shower and that her father would take off his clothes and come into the shower. He then would touch her "all over her body" including her private areas, and that this happened numerous times.

The daughter told the investigator that at some point she knew this was not right as she was too old to have her father in the shower. She often told him to stop but he kept touching her, the criminal complaint stated.
