A joint investigation of the City of Milwaukee Police Department Human Trafficking Task Force and Sworn Law Enforcement Investigators with the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has been concluded. It revealed a large network of crime, misconduct and prostitution.
Yesterday, a lawyer named Travis C. Schwantes was charged with multiple crimes. Within his criminal complaint, Easton is mentioned as being a frequent solicitor of prostitutes. Easton served as the Pleasant Prairie Municipal Prosecutor for more than 26 years. He was also ironically on the sex offender placement committee.

According to the criminal complaint:
On September 3, 2024, law enforcement interviewed [George Easton] regarding his involvement with VICTIM 1 and prostitution at his home. During the interview at [Easton]’s home law enforcement noted various decorations that indicated [Easton] had occupied a role as a judicial figure. [Easton] was shown photographs of the victim and stated that he recognized them. He also recognized the name, that she used as a nickname. He acknowledged that he paid her about $200.00 per hour to engage in acts of prostitution. [Easton] also had sex with other women when his wife was away in Florida. [Easton] stated that he would discover the woman by browsing through websites where they advertised. Regarding the victim, [Easton] paid cash and hired the victim multiple times beginning in 2021 and ending in 2022. [Easton] would request her to come to his residence to perform these acts.
Based on the statements of the victim and the evidence discovered as a result of the arrest of [Easton], he engaged in approximately six acts soliciting of nonmarital sexual gratification or intercourse during 2020 through 2023 with the victim who was contacted at 2936 W Kilbourn in the City and County of Milwaukee Wisconsin and his own residence in the 6700 block of 105th St. in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
[Easton] was included in the photo array because of the victims description of a “retired municipal judge” resulted in a LinkedIn page, titled: [George Easton] – Retired judge – Self-Employed”. The victim described the Judge being named, [George] with pocked marked face and gray hair combed over, who lives in a town house, near Racine, with garage doors in the middle.
The victim identified him as the Judge. she stated that she used to drive to the Judge’s house when his wife was in Florida. She knew this customer was a Judge because affixed to the wall inside the house was a plaque that identified his occupation. She stated that during the visits, the Judge wanted to role play. The Judge regularly paid her $300.00 cash for two (2) hours of service for her sexual services. She added that the Judge would text her phone a lot, rambling on with his messages. She last saw the Judge in 2023, making the total number of sessions with him around six (6) times. During these, she would not have to get undressed at all.
Easton’s two children are also attorneys. Michael Easton is the City of Kenosha Municipal Judge and his other son, Joseph, is a lawyer in Florida.
It is unknown if Easton will be charged with a crime, or ordinance.

he should have said nothing or lied. Obviously, for some reason, he wanted to be arrested. another man arrested for a victimless crime in the non united states of Israel
F israhell
Stop the hate dude, life is too short.
You are free to leave the US if you hate it so badly.
Isn’t Easton also related to former mayor Antaramian and his cousin the city attorney Ed Antaramian. I always thought it was strange that Kenosha citizens were ok with the mayor, city attorney, and municipal judge being from the same family. Now, there is a detective antaramian and a detective Morrissey, the son of the current city administrator. The incestuous corruption in Kenosha is generational.
The corruption runs VERY DEEP in Kenosha county. Hopefully the lid opens starting with Unpleasant Prairie. With all the homes and business popping up we should be getting refund checks with all new fees they charge. Starting with Steinbrink and Pollocoff running the show for decades where is the money? Oh wait it’s paid for by naming buildings and streets after themselves?
On the brighter side, at least he wasn’t screwing the taxpayers.
Biden is starting WWIII
You’ll be able to start charging a monthly subscription if you keep these stories up. Know the Easton family well, this can’t be sitting well with them. At 76 you should focusing on your grandchildren, George! Not role playing with prostitutes. LMAO
Keep up the outstanding reporting Kevin.
Easton is and has always been a scumbag hypocrite.
A female prostitute from Milwaukee was arresting after leaving George Easton’s son’s law firm which was located on Green Bay Road at the time. George Easton was living at the firm during or after his divorce. The prostitute named the location and Easton specifically. It was brought to the attention of Smetana and officers were threatened to keep their mouths shut to protect the integrity of the village. Another cover up by the corrupt cheif!
Is that why they stopped doing stings? Smetana was big on them.
Smetana needs to go. He is just going through the motions and collecting his double dipped paycheck. He will be just like Steinbrink Sr and Pollocoff. Once they are out of the public eye, no one will remember them. Unless Smetana gets a street named after him, that will be his legacy. A stupid street that doesn’t mean anything.
Want to guess who is the largest land owner in PP? Junior will be a very rich spoiled brat
That maybe true but Sr just lost his legacy when Jr was convicted of his crimes. Now Sr will be remember as the guy whose son was abusing his power , was arrested and has been spending his nights in the county jail. After a few years no one will remember Sr and if he did do any good in the Village. Once he is gone no one will care. Like Jr would say everyone can be replaced, even Daddy. How embarrassing.
Racine did not want him so Pleasant Prairie took him knowing that he was to protect certain people. He is nothing more than a doughnut eating machine.
“Grandma, tell us about the time you got a STD from Grandpa”
Ding ding ding we have a winner for best comment 🙂
I wonder if junior ever got in on that action?
What about the Chief that stopped doing the stings?
He should have auditioned for the Golden Bachelor.
Somebody needs to punt this over to the Racine County DA to be dismissed
Or Rock County for Carl.
But is he (R) or (D)?
