PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. — A Pleasant Prairie man accused of prolonged sexual abuse involving minors appeared before Liberal Activist Supplemental Court Commissioner Tracey “Low-Bail” Braun this week, where prosecutors sought a $250,000 cash bond before the court ultimately ordered a $100,000 cash bond and strict conditions, including no contact with multiple individuals and no contact with anyone under age 18.

Joshua D. Aulozzi, 45, of Pleasant Prairie, is charged with multiple felonies including two counts of incest, repeated sexual assault of a child, causing mental harm to a child, exposing genitals to a child and exposing a child to harmful material, according to a newly filed criminal complaint.
Court records show the State initially requested $100,000 during a temporary appearance before later increasing its request to $250,000 at Aulozzi’s formal initial appearance. Braun ultimately ordered a $100,000 cash bond and scheduled a preliminary hearing for May 29. Prosecutors also secured conditions barring Aulozzi from contacting the alleged victims or any minor children.
The allegations outlined in the complaint span multiple years and involve two victims. Because of the sensitive nature of the allegations and the ages involved, Kenosha County Eye is withholding identifying details that could reveal the victims’ identities.
According to investigators, family members contacted police after learning of allegations involving one victim who reportedly disclosed years of abuse. The complaint alleges that after being confronted by family members, Aulozzi made statements expressing remorse and admitted inappropriate conduct involving more than one child.
Investigators say one alleged victim described years of manipulation and coercion, alleging the conduct escalated over time and often involved emotional pressure. According to the complaint, the victim reported feeling trapped and repeatedly attempted to distance herself from the situation, but alleged that guilt, threats of self-harm and concerns about the effect on the family made it difficult to resist.
Police also cite text messages recovered during the investigation that allegedly showed coded conversations and requests for private meetings. The complaint alleges the communications became increasingly troubling and included language investigators believe was intended to arrange inappropriate encounters.
The criminal complaint further alleges Aulozzi recorded a family discussion in which he acknowledged wrongdoing and made statements accepting responsibility. Investigators wrote that portions of the recording allegedly corroborated information later provided to police.
Authorities also noted that Aulozzi had reportedly been active in community activities and youth sports. The complaint states investigators became concerned about potential access to children and possible safety issues while the investigation was ongoing.
If convicted on all charges, Aulozzi faces a combined maximum exposure of more than 115 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
