Muskego boy faces sexual assault charge
Police say he gave girl a 'wedgie'

Muskego - A 16-year-old Muskego student accused of giving a "wedgie" to his former girlfriend at school is facing juvenile charges of fourth-degree sexual assault.

The girl, 15, told authorities that the boy pushed her up against a locker, put his hand down the back of her pants and pulled her thong up above the waistline of her pants, the police report released Wednesday says. The boy also touched the girl's buttocks, the report says.

She told him to stop at least three times and said that the incident was both painful and embarrassing, the report says.

After the assault, according to the report, the boy said, "Now I got some action."

The boy told police that since he had dated the girl in the past, he thought it was OK to do what he did.

Assistant Superintendent Robert Rammer said that the offense did not warrant expulsion but that the student was suspended for five days.

"It's unfortunate," Rammer said. "It was an isolated incident. It was immediately dealt with."

Police were called to Muskego High School, W183-S8750 Racine Ave., at about 6:30 p.m. Sept. 24 for an alleged assault, Capt. Paul Geiszler said.

The girl told police that she was getting ready for band practice at about 5:30 p.m. and that when she came out of the locker room, she was confronted by the 16-year-old boy, the report says.

As the girl started to walk away from him, the report says, the boy grabbed her, and the girl's friend screamed for the boy to put her down.

The girl left the area and went to band practice. She was crying. She told the band instructor but was too embarrassed to tell him the full story, the report says, but another student told the teacher what had occurred, and police were called.

The boy told investigators that he was "just joking around" but that he may have gone too far. He said that he was sorry and that he "would do anything to make it up to her if he could."

The boy was arrested, handcuffed and taken to the Muskego Police Department from the school.

Another wedgie incident in Waukesha County received national attention, including a mention on "Saturday Night Live." In October 1997, five boys were suspended for giving another boy a wedgie on a playground at Merton Intermediate School on Sussex Road.

The five boys, ages 12 and 13, attacked a 13-year-old boy from behind, held him down and pulled on his underwear while holding his face to the ground.

The five boys were suspended from school for three days, and four of them were ticketed for disorderly conduct. Parents of the kids criticized the principal's handling of the incident because police were called, and the principal was eventually demoted.

Former principal Susan Ulichny received $150,000 in a settlement reached in 2002 with the school district after she filed a lawsuit contending the district improperly took away her duties.

The disorderly conduct citations were dropped after the boys agreed to apologize to the victim and perform five hours of community service.

The kid admits to doing this and should be charged with something, but a sex offense?

If I were her father, I wouldn't press charges, but I WOULD ask the judge for three minutes alone with him.

Of course, after that I would be the one in jail....

What he needs is a good beating. I think people ought to have the option, in minor cases like this, to be thrashed or start the paper trail on their very own criminal record.

WTF is he doing, doing that to a girl? He needs  a good hard smack upside the noggin.



Agreed.  And that's where it should end.  With him being bitch slapped right then by the girl that he did it to, right in front of everyone in that hallway.

That would have put her back in control and embarased the little fucker that did it.

But, no.  We can't possibly allow something that simple to be all that happens.  We have created a system that DEMANDS we drag kids in to police stations and court rooms for "offenses" that 10 or 15 years ago would have been handled just as I described above.

20 years from now EVERYONE is going to need a personal lawer on speed dial in order to conduct ANY business between 2 people of any age, from saying "Good morning" as you pass someone in the hall at work to ordering lunch at the fast food place (gotta make sure everyone's "rights" are observed and that there is  no chance of anyone possibly ofending anyone else).

I don't know about actually CHARGING the boy with something, but... I probably would have called the police too, because at 16, you should know better. It was unwanted sexual contact, and it needed to be dealt with. I'm surprised I have this opinion here, because usually I say, let them live, suspend the kid from school for a day or two, etc. However, he pushed her into a wall and grabbed her underwear? I mean come on?, take him to the station, fingerprint him, scare the fuck out of him, and then give him some community service, don't give him a record, but let people know that you don't touch people like that, it's just plain wrong. If she were my sister, I'd wedge the kid into a hole in the wall. Hell if he were my brother I'd beat the piss out of him and force him to publically appologize.

WTF? I don't know about a sex charge that will follow him for life. Maybe just assault. He had no business touching the girl. Just imagine if it were your sister or daughter he did that too.

There is no way he should have charges brought against him. Was it extremely inappropriate and juvenille? Yes. Should someone give him a beat down? Probably. The school should discipline him, but he shouldnt be charged with anything. It said he had dated her, so it wasn't like he didnt know the girl.

The Fact that he put his hands down her pants is why the are going after a Sex Charge, fact of the matter they were splitsville and he should have left her allone but he obviously has controll issues.

I am sure he will get off with a slap of the wrist  

Now if would have been my Granddaughter I don't think the parents would still be living in the same state, I would be posting signs all over the City and run a full page add in the Local and regional Papers.

Interesting the way the press simply describes this as a “wedgie” in the headlines when it appears to have definitely been more than that.

Still, it really was simple assault, not sexual assault.

I can’t imagine any school today tolerating this kind of conduct on school grounds.

This WAS a sexual assault. He deserves what he gets.

Problem is that no one ever straightened him out in the first place. So now he does this. Let him deal with the consequences.

I'm actually surprised that chick pressed charges.

I got used to it in high school.  It just became a part of it.  Didn't bother me too much.

I think this chick needs to suckit up and quit being such a baby.

But then again, maybe I shouldn't have gotten used to it.

Maybe now the asshole and all those like him that hear about the incident will wake the hell up and realize that you can't do that kind of shit to women. Sounds like he was in the making of being a rapist later on down the road.

So is it sexual assault if the roles are reversed ?
If a male or female gave a male a wedgie is that sexual assault ?
Or is this a female only thing ?
I think of all the times I have seen other kids get wedgies in school.
Think of all those sexual assaults that could have been prosecuted.

Maybe.
Perhaps it was just repressed homosexual tendencies and it clearly is abusive, and of a sexual nature. Never had it happen, never did it to someone else.

In this case he took out a grudge on her for rejecting him it would seem. He did so in an abusive, AND a sexual nature which makes it a sexual assault. The fact that he did so in a manner which he thought he could get away with means nothing other than that he was wrong.

What kind of sorry asses raised both of them?  If it was one of my daughters that boy would have been picking his nuts up off the floor. STOP  MEANS  STOP!

If it was one of my sons , they all know that I would stomp their asses for something like that.  But they also know not to do something like that in the first place.

I believe that the kid does deserve some punishment, but not something that will affect him for the rest of his life. At 16 you do stupid things that you regret, but the girl did not deserve that.

Does the law only protect females on something like this ?  Hows that work ?
Don't get me wrong, he should be punished, but being charged with sexual assault is ridiculous.
God forbid he had given her an ATOMIC wedgie !!

Well, 4th degree sexual assault is what he committed. Good call by the cops IMO. What do you guys think he should be charged with? Vandalism?

I would be willing to bet that a similar charge could be leveled if the victim and perp were same sex as well. Never heard of it but that don't mean it hasn't happened. This one will probably be pled down anyway. Hopefully he gets a little more than a slap on the wrist so he gets straightened out. His parents obviously didn't do their job.

I was brought up to respect women and thats exactly what I teach my kids BUT.....THERE IS NO FUCKING DOUBLE STANDARD !!
The law is the law REGARDLESS of which sex the victim or the perp is.
You can have your own personal standards, but the law must be blind to things like this.
I'll bet that it would hurt a guy no less, and maybe more if his shorts are yanked up and his balls are squished like grapes.
There can be no double standards with regards to the law or that law is useless.

The obvious point is that the school only suspended the boy for a few days, believing it didn't warrant expulsion.  But, it was bad enough to have the cops called, and make a 16 year old boy have to be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life?

He gave her a wedgie, and the touching the girls buttocks part was probably a spank after the fact as he released the girl.  The boy should be punished, but criminal charges for a wedgie seems extreme.

Not to me. In this case he was abusing her sexually. And he meant it to be abusive, not that that is the major criteria.

What would you say to the girl? What if she was your wife? Or your daughter?
Yeah, I thought so.
She didn't deserve it, she didn't ask for it. But he humiliated her, assualted her and did so in a sexual manner. The crime is 4th degree sexual assault.
