On February 5, 2024, Kenosha Police Department Detective “Schillwater” was assigned to investigate an anonymous report made to the Kenosha County Department of Family Services (DCFS) on February 2, 2024.

The information provided to DCFS was that Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) was made aware of an inappropriate texting relationship between a 14-year-old female student identified for the purposes of this complaint as “HOLLY” and her teacher at Kenosha School of Technology (KTEC) West Middle School, Christian Enwright, hereinafter referred to as the Defendant. Per the report, school staff had already spoken to “HOLLY”, who admitted to being friends with the Defendant on SnapChat and TikTok since June of 2023, and conversing with the Defendant daily since Christmas of 2023. However, she denied anything inappropriate ever occurred.

Per the report, “HOLLY” was then released from the school office, with her cell phone still in her possession, and then deleted all the communication between her and the Defendant. “HOLLY”’s mother “Tina” was notified, at which time “Tina” requested staff take possession of “HOLLY”’s cell phone, which they did. The Defendant was then placed on administrative leave.

On February 6, 2024, Detective “Schillwater” made contact with “HOLLY”’s mother “Tina”, who confirmed the information provided in the DCFS report. “Tina” also provided a screen shot she found in “HOLLY”’s phone of a SnapChat conversation between “HOLLY” and “Christian Enwright,” which took place on February 4, 2024, at 12:13AM, which is the last day of their communication (COUNT 22). It reads, in part, as follows:

“HOLLY”: omggggggg are you mad at me
Christian: kinda
“HOLLY”: why????
Christian: you know why [name of male classmate with the first initial C]
“HOLLY”: i don’t like him. i tell you stuff all the time how would i like him
Christian: okay
“HOLLY”: why do you think that

On February 7, 2024, “Tina” gave Detective “Schillwater” permission to forensically download “HOLLY”’s cell phone, which was still in the possession of KTEC West. On February 8, 2024, Detective “Schillwater” retrieved “HOLLY”’s cell phone from KTEC West and brought it to the Kenosha Police Department to be forensically downloaded.

In reviewing the download of “HOLLY”’s cell phone, Detective “Schillwater” located images which were saved from “HOLLY”’s SnapChat conversations with the Defendant. These images included “selfies” the Defendant took of himself and sent to “HOLLY”, which also included text consistent with the Defendant responding to dialogue or images or videos sent to him by “HOLLY”. (COUNTS 3-21). Based on Detective “Schillwater”’s training and experience, he is familiar with SnapChat and knows that people who often send each other short video clips or image with text on it as a way to communicate, in addition to written messages. Detective “Schillwater” also located two images sent to “HOLLY” by the Defendant of his lower body, which also included text. (COUNTS 1-2) Detective “Schillwater” was able to locate the creation date and time of the images on “HOLLY”’s cell phone, but was unable to determine which of “HOLLY”’s messages/videos/images that the Defendant’s photographs were in response to.

Those images are as follows:

Via Snapchat Detective “Schillwater” also located 603 deleted SnapChat messages from the Defendant to “HOLLY” between January 26, 2024, and February 1, 2024. These messages occurred throughout the day, including as late as 12:19 AM and as early as 6:37 AM. Although the date and time of the messages were visible, the content of the messages were not due to them being deleted.

On February 16, 2024, “HOLLY” was forensically interviewed at the Kenosha County Child Advocacy Center by Taume Kohl. “HOLLY” was reluctant to provide any information, but did state that she and the Defendant were friends on SnapChat and TikTok. She and the Defendant would use TikTok sporadically to share videos and make small talk, but mostly communicated via SnapChat. “HOLLY” advised that messages between her and the Defendant began to occur more often around December of 2023. “HOLLY” admitted to deleting the Defendant’s SnapChat account from her phone the day this was reported to her school because she was afraid of getting in trouble.

When asked about her messages with the Defendant, “HOLLY” mentioned how the Defendant recently got upset with her because he thought she liked another guy named [same name as in the SnapChat messages above] (Count 22). When asked how she felt about that, “HOLLY” said, “it wasn’t right.”

Detective “Schillwater” then spoke to “Tina” and coordinated with her in order to obtain all SnapChat data from “HOLLY”’s account via a user request, which Detective “Schillwater” knows based on his training and experience to be a better way to get SnapChat data rather than via warrant. “Tina” did this and forwarded the data to the Kenosha Police Department. Detective “Schillwater” reviewed this information and observed that “HOLLY” became SnapChat friends with the Defendant (enwright23) on June 13, 2023, and that “HOLLY” deleted the Defendant from her account on February 1, 2024.

On February 29, 2024. “HOLLY” was once again forensically interviewed by Ms. Kohl after asking her mom if she could go back to provide more information. “HOLLY” advised that things started between her and the Defendant when the Defendant would complement her. He would tell her, “you look cute” or “you look good.” He would also complement her on her eyes and legs. Their hugs also changed from normal hugs to hugs around the waist.

“HOLLY” said her and the Defendant would message all day, but not during school hours. The constant messaging started at the end of November of 2023 or possibility in December of 2023. “HOLLY” advised that they discussed not telling people about their communications, but that he never said it directly, only “implied it.” The Defendant would also, once a week, delete “HOLLY” off of his SnapChat. He did this because she was “getting too high up on his friend’s list.”

“HOLLY” mentioned how the Defendant would get mad at her when he found out she was talking to another guy from school. “HOLLY” said one time she was talking about to him about it and he told her she “better watch what she said.” The Defendant also got mad at “HOLLY” when she mentioned how another teacher was cute.

“HOLLY” denied sending the Defendant any nude photographs or videos, or being sent any nude photographs or videos by the Defendant. She did mention one picture she got from the Defendant where he was sitting on the couch with a hoodie. “HOLLY” said he didn’t have any pants on, only a towel, and when she asked what he was doing, the Defendant replied, “I can’t say.”

On March 26, 2024, Detective “Schillwater” interviewed the Defendant at the Kenosha Police Department with his wife Leah Enwright present in the interview room. The Defendant advised he was aware of the investigation and denied he had done anything wrong. The Defendant admitted to communicating with “HOLLY” via SnapChat. He said at first it was small talk, but acknowledged that the frequency of their communication grew over the past few months. He said they would both exchange still images and short video clips on SnapChat. Detective “Schillwater” then showed the Defendant the images Detective “Schillwater” located on “HOLLY”’s phone that appeared to be of the Defendant (COUNTS 1-21). The Defendant admitted that those were of him and that he sent them to “HOLLY”, but said he was only trying to raise her confidence and make her feel better about herself.

Detective “Schillwater” referred his investigation to the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office on April 23, 2024.

In summary, between June of 2023, and February of 2024, while the Defendant was a 7th Grade teacher at KTEC West Middle School, he communicated with a 13-14 year old student of his via SnapChat. That communication occurred on a daily basis, so frequently to the point that in only a one week period, the Defendant sent 608 messages to “HOLLY”. These messages occurred on school days and weekends, throughout the day, including as late as 12:19 AM and as early as 6:37 AM. These communications included messages, short videos, and photographs, some of which were sexually charged (COUNTS 1-21). Based on Detective “Schillwater”’s training and experience, he recognized the Defendant’s behavior as manipulation, otherwise known as grooming. This included developing trust with “HOLLY”, giving her special attention, developing secrets, desensitizing and normalizing sexual topics, and pushing personal boundaries. This behavior corrupts the public morales and outrages the sense of public decency.

Kenosha Police Reacts

Sgt. Cory Brennan – Office of Professional Standards

“The Kenosha Police Department is comprised of men and women who are dedicated to protecting children in our community. The charging decision by the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office is the culmination of countless hours of work by our Detectives to get to the truth of Mr. Enwright’s actions. We have worked in collaboration with the district attorney’s office to present all of the known information to bolster a charging decision. However, our work is not yet finished in cases like this where alleged grooming and exploitation of children in our schools has occurred. As a department, we have begun the arduous process of working with legislators to correct these adult behaviors through proactive legislation and new state laws that will properly address behavior such as this with strict language and punishments,” said Sgt Cory Brennan in a written statement to KCE Friday morning.

KUSD Mothers Speak Out

 Josie Benson, a KUSD mom had the following to say of the charges:

“I think it’s about time our DA did the right thing! Going from not charging him at all to 22 disorderly conducts speaks volumes. I believe it is definitely because we the people of this community showed them that we were not taking ‘no’ for an answer, so I will take it as a win although I am not completely satisfied, these charges could’ve been filed from day one and it just proves even more that Kevin Neir, and the rest of these people in our district were covering things up! This is all just the beginning of cleaning house! I am also a little disappointed that it’s only disorderly conduct. I think the verbiage is appalling and he could’ve came up with better charges than just disorderly conduct!  “

Karina Luna (KUSD Mom)

Karina Luna, a KUSD mom had the following to say of the charges:

“I am thrilled to hear that the District Attorney has finally pressed charges against Enwright. Although it is disappointing that it took so long, I am thankful for the parents’ tireless efforts and the media coverage that helped bring attention to this matter. I hope that Enwright receives the maximum amount of jail time.

Moving forward, it is essential that we continue to hold individuals like Enwright accountable for their actions. I hope that our justice system will continue to take swift action against those who violate the trust of our children. Also, I urge the Department of Public Instruction to revoke Enwright’s license without delay.”

Kristy Murphy (KTEC Mom)
(File Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye)

Kristy Murphy, a KTEC mom, had the following to say about the charges:

“I am very happy that they are charging him. I’m not sure why these charges were not there from the beginning. However, if it took all of us moms and dads to cause an uproar to get things done then we will be there to cause an uproar for everyone on our list so all of them can deal with the consequences of their corruption. It’s kinda funny that it took loud parents not letting up to get things done and the ball rolling. I’ve said it before, you do not mess with people’s children!!!! We aren’t done yet we are coming for the rest of them.”

Enwright’s teaching license is currently “under investigation.”

Enwright is due in court on next Wednesday May 15, 2024 at 1pm. The hearing is open to the public and KCE will be there. Enwright has already hired two attorneys.

***Editor’s note. KCE has redacted the victim’s initials and the mom’s name. We encourage everyone else to do the same.***

Here is some other coverage of the Enwright grooming:

  1. Lock this pedo and his pedo sympathizing wife up! Shame on KUSD (Scott Hodges and Kevin Neir) for trying to cover this up. If it wasn’t for KCE this would have gotten swept under the rug.

    1. Is anyone else wondering if there may be more victims? Him being a teacher and teaching the age of girls he is obviously attracted to?

  2. K, I have been commenting asking for the evidence previously. Always thought he should be fired but here is the evidence needed for me to say to hang this guy by the balls. I’m not entirely sure what the school knew but if they knew and saw this, admin has to go.

    1. Liberal ideology is that people should not go to prison. Those that do can also be rehabilitated. That’s their mind set. It shows in every poor charge and low bail set. How many local murderers has Evers let out of the can. They are inept and make our communities dangerous.

    1. Christian Enwright ‘s father is an attorney , and friend of Michael Gravely. Now you know the rest of the story . Good day.

      1. Another crooked piece of a corrupt system!! McNeil is being groomed by gravely voting for her is keeping him pushing the narrative.

      2. He’s also a deacon at St. Mary’s, along with Wilson Shierk. This parish supports the pro-grooming, pro-porn organization, CUSH.

  4. The Kenosha District Attorney’s Office initially refused to prosecute this pedophile. It should be child enticement and 2 other charges. Now they want to prosecute him. Maybe because there is an election coming up. Xavier Solis stated that he wouldn’t allow teachers who prey on children to escape prosecution. Shame on them for not protecting our children in schools. Thank you KCE for exposing this pedophile!

    1. A child enticement charge wouldn’t apply:

      > Child enticement. Whoever, with intent to commit any of the following acts, causes or attempts to cause any child who has not attained the age of 18 years to go into any vehicle, building, room or secluded place is guilty of a Class D felony:

      Not saying it’s right, but you can hardly blame the DA for charging disorderly conduct when no other law in Wisconsin really applies here.

        1. But it has to be proven. Stupid Snapchat sends are enough to prove anything. If KUSD staff didn’t let her leave with her phone to delete evidence, then they would have more to work with.

          Arrest every employee that allowed this to happen. By law they cannot “handle things internally”. They were required to report it to law enforcement.

          1. Pedophiles should not be given the benefit of the doubt! KUSD should have a zero tolerance policy against this shit but they enable and support it on a daily basis and they got caught.

          3. This is WHY we need policy that NO adult or school employee should speak with a child in such sensitive matters without a parent permission or presence…… I’m working on it.

  5. We all know he’ll be given some insanely generous plea deal and 21 of those charges will be dismissed and he will walk away with a fine. MAYBE probation if we’re lucky.

    1. With the outrage this has garnered from the community, I don’t think he’s going to walk away with a light sentence. A message will be sent to him and others in the community that this behavior is not tolerated.

  6. We can thank Kevin Mathewson not only for reporting this story but to report it to this extent !

    There is now no way any future employers doing any basic background checks will not see this.

    Kevin is protecting children for decades to come !

    If you don’t believe this then ask any victim how their lives have been affected and changed many years after. Many people down the road are impacted by past bad experiences. Including those victims families. Even if they don’t know it.

        1. Taxpayers lose either way. Raising taxes won’t open people’s eyes because they still won’t want to be bothered to pay attention. Only a small handful go to meetings, peruse the financials, run for any sort of office (school board) or even pay attention to what their kids homework says. Until people have to write a check directly to each governmental body that steals from their paycheck- they won’t care. We need to stop the automatic deduction from paychecks and make people see how much actually comes out each week, and then gets mismanaged. It’s disgusting.

  10. Some people think that it’s wrong to fire others who “might” have known about this but did nothing.

    Me, I think every single person directly in charge of this teacher and up the chain of command needs to go !!

    Why ?? Because it’s a deterrent !!
    Punishment is a deterrent ! And by a handful here being fired, that sets the deterrent in motion.

    You might say that losing one’s job isn’t a deterrent. No? Then what is it ? It’s all those others who see that their coworkers are being fired for not reporting what they knew to be bad. People need to stand up for the weak and report what you know.

    Or you are just as responsible as the actual perpetrator.

    Remember, there are laws against retaliation for reporting. And the availability to sue. Lose your job because you reported on someone ? Sue the Shit out of the school district !! When the taxpayers get done paying for all the inevitable lawsuits here they will fire or vote out of office all those responsible for doing nothing !!
    That’s how change happens !!

    13
  11. Start looking for new board members.

    Start by looking in the mirror.

    Is it You ??

    If not, recruit someone.
    They are out there.
    Lets find them

    1. This>>>>>>”Some people think that it’s wrong to fire others who “might” have known about this but did nothing.
      Me, I think every single person directly in charge of this teacher and up the chain of command needs to go !!”

      Employees of KUSD who kept silent and did nothing are just as guilty. Parents need to consider they are possibly putting their children in harms way at KUSD. I guess it’s no surprise the Kenosha teachers union remains quiet on this issue.

      1. Unions are a sham. I’m not surprised that they don’t have a thing to say, they don’t want to lose their precious dues (membership).

  12. The only reasons our DA’s office did anything is:
    1. Kevin/KCE reported this to us.
    2. Citizens took action and showed up to complain.
    3. Elections for a new Kenosha County District Attorney happen on Tuesday, August 13 and Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

    Take action now:
    1. Register to vote here: https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Register-To-Vote
    2. Vote for Xavier Solis to end the corruption on Tuesday, August 13 and Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

    Shit happens. Bunch of fucken hypocritical wanna be politicians

    1. And now the left wants Carli McNeill to replace Graveley. We can’t allow that to happen. No more soft on crime DAs. It’s time for change.

  14. I would be willing to bet the ones reporting your Facebook page because it talks about grooming and porn, are the same idiots like Joel and Landry that want this in the schools. They just don’t like being called out, so
    They prolly report it, so it goes away.

    1. He was most likely groomed by the former groomer at Wilmot Jimmy P. Look it up. Also a Kenosha product. Jeffery Moore AT&T associate director and Twin Lakes resident said he was a good man and shouldn’t be fired. I see a pattern here from Kenosha and Kenosha county with the democrat party.

  15. 22 counts of DC? They might as well not even charged him…..what a waste.

    Funny the DA backs down here when pressure is put on him but won’t do the same for actual violent crimes when he lets people go…

    1. Sometimes there are gaps in the law and this is one of them. We need to get out legislators on the stick to fix this.

      1. Nah. It’s the DAs fault. They always screw up. Should have charged him with disorderly at first. Ask for a no contact with children bond. It gets him out of the school and anyway from our children. We need change at the DAs office. Thank you Kevin for reporting on this.

        Xavier Solis for DA

  16. Pay attention Kenosha. Remember people
    Like berg, who endorsed this wack school board hasn’t said a word as well, but posts on his page about republican nominee for DA. If that don’t speak volumes what does? The left is quiet about this but still bashes others for a DA spot. You’re a tool berg!

    Speaking of. Where’s his investigation at???

    17
    1
    1. Because Berg knows that Xavier Solis will actually prosecute criminals including him and his loser friends that ejaculate on unconscious teenagers. Looks like his favors with the DAs office are over.

  18. Pictures say 1,000 words. Crotch shots, tongue out, naked in bed…
    all sent to a 12-14 year old. Makes me want to puke.

    I’ll assume the pervert’s wife will be seeing a divorce lawyer on Monday, right after a public apology to the young victim for accusing her of lying,

    22
    1. The wifey seems okay with her man-child trying to lure the young girls. Perhaps she’s okay with it? She’s defended him up until now. So has his mommy.

      Unless they revoke his teaching license, he’ll probably end up working at a private school. And if he doesn’t get a restriction placed on him in court to stay away from kids, he’ll be right back to dating the teenagers. And, so far, that’s not an issue being considered by the courts.

      1. Luckily most private schools do their research on potential hires- Government schools, not so much. Even if the government schools did, the Union mob will still fight to hire any old turd.

  19. Pay attention to Troy Landry post! It starts with pay attention to who was the elected…..then bashes republicans. Hey Troy, tell your fucken wife to pay attention to her fucken job! Also maybe pay attention to your own history ya fucken hypocrite

  20. Now to the next question: with all the pretrial publicity, can he get a fair trial in Kenosha County?

    And his lawyer would be guilty of malpractice not to move for a change of venue.

  21. JUDGE JASON ROSSELL NEEDS TO RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THIS CASE!!
    BOTH THE JUDGE’S WIFE AND CHRISTIAN’S MOTHER ARE 3RD GRADE TEACHERS AT NASH ELEMENTARY, AND HAVE TAUGHT ALONG SIDE EACH OTHER SINCE 2007!!!
    I cannot see how this judge could be impartial towards this defendant!! MamaBears need to get on this one too!

    12
  22. You fucken idiots amaze me! Pre trial publicity? And judges reclusion? It’s a fucken predator! Look at the pics! Holy fuck you leftist idiots!

    2
    3
  23. You might be the idiot. I would think the judge, being a friend of the family, would have a huge conflict of interest here, and may be more LENIENT towards the defendant! The judge should step down for that very reason, don’t you think?
    That’s why the MamaBears need to protest about this also.

    1. You are the idiot…. You think this idiot will go to trial for misdemeanors, especially with this coverage. Keep trying to push your views

  24. This is a huge reminder to parents to check on what their kids are doing on social media.

    The school board firing Enright should be just a start. How about an investigation about what school officials knew, when they found out and what they did about it? Perhaps hiring an independent investigator.

    DPI should act on his license. This teacher is one sick dude.

    The law needs to be changed. Do other states have better laws?

    10
    1. I agree. My 8 year olds kids YouTube suggestions came up with a how to make out video. WTF is that even doing on Kids YouTube? People need to get their kids off that garbage and actually interact with them to counteract the school and social grooming going on.

      1. Have you seen some of the books in the school library? Who needs YouTube when you can get tutorials at school.

  25. This is bullshit. These should be felonies! This pedophile is a danger to society. Shame on our court system

  26. Back in the Day, Enwright’s biggest Fear would have been an angry, out of control Father, beating him within an inch of his life for messing with his daughter’s head and the authorities looking the other way because he deserved and asked for it countless times.

    1. You are correct.
      The first step was Enwright himself, now work up the chain and dont stop until the head of the snake is chopped off.
      Those mothers have a lot more work to do.
      Next stop is his wife who is just as disgusting. She might have been in on the grooming herself. How could she not know all this texting going on at all hours of the night. And then slanders the victim?
      GONE!
      How about Enwright’s mother who is a teacher and let him hang out at her school? And where did he learn this behavior from?
      GONE!
      The principle to the school where Enwright was teaching.
      GONE!
      Any school board member that heard about this and only waited til their hand was forced to fire this piece of trash.
      GONE!
      And finally that piece of shit superintendent. After someone takes his sorry ass out back to the woodshed for a good old fashion ass whooping.
      GONE!

      The work is not yet done!

  27. Thank you Kevin for your relentless pursuit!
    As stated above it is necessary to monitor our children and social media apps. Talk to them about appropriate adult conversations and take action when you find something.
    Shame on those that knew and stood by doing nothing. To those that supported him – what are your thoughts now? He needs to be registered, teaching license taken away, and jailed. This is inexcusable.

  28. I used to know enwright as one of his students and he would be really kind to me. I noticed over time that he would progressively get creepier and ask for hugs. I would usually say yes as I was struggling mentally throughout that year and he felt like a safe space. I eventually cut all ties with him as I learned how creepy he was when I heard him commenting “holly”’s appearance. It remained that way for a long time but I just hope his wife will divorce him and keep their CHILD. YES HE HAS A KID. I can’t help but feel sorry for the kid to have such a horrible father that chose having a secret affair with a 12-year old fucking student over spending time with his family. I think he should be locked up and never released and hopefully never gets another job.

  29. This creep is a real challenge. The visceral part of me would like to just kick the crap out of him. But as someone who wore the uniform of this country I took an oath to support the constitution and that includes standing up for the rights of people who make me puke. This dude deserves a fair trial and, if he’s convicted, a sentence that will keep him away from kids. I doubt they’ll have much trouble convicting him on most if not all of the counts.

    Some good may come out of this. First, we need to get some new laws to address this type of behavior. Do any other states have better laws? And then maybe KUSD can “repurpose” an administrator to be the person who makes sure that this behavior is dealt with appropriately and not ignored or swept under the rug. This should be someone directly answerable to the school board, not the superintendent or any other administrator.

    1. Does anyone actually think this will go to trial ?
      All this teachers lawyer will do is try to get him off with no jail at all. And any other sanction allowable. Before the trial.

      He’s guilty. It’s just “how much” that needs to be negotiated out.

      As for another person to be hired (or repurposed) to watch out for this, you’re missing the point here !
      You don’t need a new person or position, you already have every employee in the system that is SUPPOSED to be watching. They’re just not talking.
      And the top brass aren’t doing their jobs. Because they don’t want to admit that ANYONE under them is a problem.
      They will get more praise firing people than talking to them and helping them keep their jobs.
      No second chances. No counseling. Once a complaint from a student or parent against a teacher is proven and verified, the teacher is gone.
      Sad to say that scenario is easier for the teacher. Very little hoopla. Just fired and down the road.

      It’s ALL THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW THIS WAS GOING ON THAT NEED TO BE FIRED NOW !!!!

      That is the only thing that will keep it from happening again !! People being fired for NOT WATCHING OUT and dealing with it appropriately.

      Then everyone will be the eyes to watch out for the children.

      1. All the CAPITAL LETTERS and shouting and banging shoes don’t take away from the fact that it’s up to a jury to say whether he’s guilty or not and he may have a defense to some of the counts.

        You’re right that the superintendent and others should be doing their jobs. But the problem with being on a school board is you basically only know what the superintendent wants you to know. A good superintendent runs the board (and good superintendents get away with it because they make it easy for the board and they don’t screw up). How can this board trust what they are told?????

        2
        1
      2. Yes, we should hold them accountable. I would go one step further. In the military there are times when we’d have days when the service would “stand down” to address a particular issue. I remember in the Vietnam era the special training after My Lai on not committing atrocities and that we had a duty to disobey unlawful orders. KUSD needs to stand down to make sure ALL staff is properly instructed, especially on their duties as mandatory reporters of child abuse.

    1. Good Morning uneducated anonymous KCE poster. You are a twit. Only someone convicted of felonies can be sent to prison. Theses are misdemeanors.

      2023 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations
      Chapter 302 – Prisons; state, county and municipal.
      302.43 – Good time.
      Universal Citation: WI Stat § 302.43 (2023)
      Previous
      Next
      302.43 Good time. Every inmate of a county jail is eligible to earn good time in the amount of one-fourth of his or her term for good behavior if sentenced to at least 4 days, but fractions of a day shall be ignored. An inmate shall be given credit for time served prior to sentencing under s. 973.155, including good time under s. 973.155 (4). An inmate who violates any law or any regulation of the jail, or neglects or refuses to perform any duty lawfully required of him or her, may be deprived by the sheriff of good time under this section, except that the sheriff shall not deprive the inmate of more than 2 days good time for any one offense without the approval of the court. An inmate who files an action or special proceeding, including a petition for a common law writ of certiorari, to which s. 807.15 applies shall be deprived of the number of days of good time specified in the court order prepared under s. 807.15 (3). This section does not apply to a person who is confined in the county jail in connection with his or her participation in a substance abuse treatment program that meets the requirements of s. 165.95 (3), as determined by the department of justice under s. 165.95 (9) and (10).

      History: 1977 c. 353; 1989 a. 31 s. 1667; Stats. 1989 s. 302.43; 1997 a. 133; 2005 a. 25; 2013 a. 20.

      A person confined in jail as a condition of probation is not entitled to earn good time. State v. Fearing, 2000 WI App 229, 239 Wis. 2d 105, 619 N.W.2d 115, 99-2849.

      When the defendant was sentenced to ten months in the house of correction for battery and seven years in state prison for intimidation, the defendant was not entitled to “good time” credit for the house of correction sentence, which should be applied to the prison sentence. The trial court was required to construe the defendant’s sentences as a single sentence, which put the sentences under the purview of s. 973.01. Because the defendant was, under the terms of the statutes, an inmate of the prison system rather than the county jail, this section, the county jail “good time” statute, does not apply to the defendant’s sentence. State v. Harris, 2011 WI App 130, 337 Wis. 2d 222, 805 N.W.2d 386, 10-1955.

      One confined for civil (remedial) contempt is not eligible to earn good time, but one confined for criminal (punitive) contempt is eligible. 74 Atty. Gen. 96.

  30. I took a step back tonight and now I’m even more outraged.

    I don’t care as much about what the DA’s office was able to finally charge but rather why the school district took so long to do anything. No doubt the laws need to be changed to better cover this but you don’t need a meteorologist to tell you it’s snowing and you don’t need an expert to say that this guy is hitting the red zone on the creep-o-meter. Yes, I’m glad that the school board did what it needed to do but really, folks, these are not the actions of a good teacher looking out for the best interests of his students. No way, no how. These are not words of guidance or encouragement. If you went into a room of 100 people and asked if they think someone doing this should continue as a teacher and I’d bet well over 90% will say no. The initial responses by school administrators reminds me of what the Archdiocese of Milwaukee (and others) did with sexual abuse allegations against priests in prior years: nothing but sweep it under the rug. This isn’t an isolated incident bur rather a pattern of bad behavior that should have been nipped in the bud. The principal should have hauled his ass into the office and gave him the choice of resigning or being fired. Think about it: what if McDonald’s had a manager who was sending messages like this to an employee? What would McD’s do? It’s not rocket science, folks.

    Firing this teacher was a no-brainer but it’s not enough. The people who should have taken care of the problem and didn’t also need to be held accountable.

    This teacher’s career is kaput — anyone doing a 30 second Google search will find out about him. The real issue is how did it get this far and why wasn’t something done about it earlier. Kevin’s right (well, sometimes he’s pretty far right, too, but this is neither a conservative or liberal issue — creeps are creeps, period) that the school board doesn’t deserve medals for doing what should have been done long ago.

    1. It is a conservative and liberal issue. The school board is predominantly liberal and so is the district attorneys office. Just look at the spring elections and who the local democract party funded and supported. And now they hand picked Graveley’s successor another liberal democract to protect their friends like that berg guy. Conservatives are the ones who exposed this pedophile. And after public pressure from parents kusd finally fired him and the district attorney’s office reluctantly charged him after first refusing to charge him.

      10
  31. This is insane !!!! this Guy needs to be charges with a lot more than DC, and his wife should also be charged with intimidation of his victims as well. this guy is a mental case and need to be as far away from are children as possible.

  32. So a 30-yr-old male teacher sexually fucks with the mind of a 12-yr-old girl and all that the pos democrat DA has in his arsenal is disorderly conduct??

    How in the fuck will that stop other groomers from doing the same thing? How?

    This DA is a detriment to Kenosha’s safety in so many ways. Kenosha voters, if you don’t get a conservative Republican DA in there to replace this asswipe, your child or grandchild is next. And, yes, I know he’s retiring. Thank God!

    5
    1
      1. You must support the liberal democract district attorney. Defending this sicko is disheartening. And No there is no gap in the law. He could have been charged with attempt of sexual assault of a child as a teacher. Exposing harmful material and causing mental damage. Or at the very least Using a computer device to solicited sex from a child.

        4
        1
        1. Actually Xavier. Assistant district attorney Rosa Delgado is married to a cop and would have charged this guy with everything on the planet if those charges were available.

        2. I read the criminal complaint. This moron walks the edge of the pier but didn’t jump in the water as far as exposing a child to harmful materials is concerned. Look at State v. Ebersold where Ebersold described to a student in the Internet chat his favorite sexual acts and his desire to have sex with her and another female at the same time. This guy was getting closer but I can see why the police and DA struggled with this. The stalking laws also come close but don’t fit. We need a law that addresses people working with children engaging in grooming activities and also one that would sustain a constitutional challenge. Several states have grooming laws but the ones I read (admittedly not all of them) would require more than shown here.

        3. Nobody here is defending this mope. If you read the criminal complaint he stops short of soliciting sex from the student. The prosecutor has to be able to prove crimes beyond a reasonable doubt.

  33. Perhaps Rep. Amanda Nedweski might have some comment since she has experience with KUSD…….”Former member: Kenosha Unified School District Audit/Budget/Finance Standing Committee.”

    Representative Amanda M. Nedweski
    Assembly District 61
    (R – Pleasant Prairie)
    Rep.Nedweski@legis.wisconsin.gov
    (888) 529-0061

  34. I don’t say this lightly when a say this disgusting pedo needs to be thrown in a pit. The current of the DA needs to be tossed in the same pit, regardless of his term ending. Needs to be down there wailing and weeping as an example for the next DA. What’s it going to take, some tee shirts and burning down Kenosha in a “peaceful protest” or re-enactment of Bastille day?

  35. Pretty sure the wife was ad Bullen 6th grade open house tonight….. is that where KUSD is going to hide her? Under her maiden name?

  36. Not many, if non at all, are openly advocating for the Child victim. Not Political representatives, City officials, scant mention in Kenosha “news”, KUSD or Kenosha’s legal system. It is shameful.
    Pretty sad. Beyond outrageous actually.
    Cudos to KCE for giving this story attention.
