Why do people make excuses for Lecher?

Here you go on Kip....a 14 year old employee!

http://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetails.do;...

Kip preyed on young boys who worked at his business. How he ever got to maintain Frostee Freeze through all that is beyond me.

what does Kip have to do with this guy also there was not intercourse in his case,

A person accused and convicted for having sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has attained the age of 13 years, but has not attained the age of 16 years is guilty of second-degree sexual assault of a minor child, a Class C felony. (WI Stat 948.02(2))

Kip Lecher and this guy were BOTH convicted of the crime I just listed.

Was Kip a senior having sex with a freshman? NO! Defending him is sickening and appaling.

Oh my god! So if a minor child consents to it then its ok? WOW!!!!! Kip Lecher is a sick disgusting man and should NEVER have been allowed to continue running his ice cream shop. Does it matter if hes a hebephile or a pedophile? Either way its KIDS!!!!!!!

I was not saying this guy isn't a worry or a threat, but everytime ANY sex offender story is on here I read comments saying, "throw them all away and throw away the key!" I am simply saying EVERY case has a INDIVIDUAL story!! Just because of the title of the conviction sounds bad it does NOT always mean the person is going to be picking up kids off the street! Kip's case is NOT one of these cases either! Do you know the difference between a pedophile and a hebophile??? A sex offender is ANYONE who has been convicted of a sexual crime and the minor/child thing does not tell if it was consentual! How about the freshman who dates a senior in high school? If the parents decided to press charges wouldn't it say child?

"Over 90% of the time it's someone you know! If you are going to make judgements atleast make them based on facts!"

The only fact, and it is a FACT, is that he was CONVICTED of 2nd degree sexual assault of a MINOR! That is all the FACT needed.

Well at least we're still arresting and prosecuting marijuana smokers which are the true dangers to society. Can't win them all.

So I guess the alternative would be for a tragic auto accident involving a hit and run with a pedestrian? That would solve almost anyones problems with just about anything, in my opinion.

He will be under extended supervision, but after his third stint based on the 2004 conviction, I'm not clear on how long. Given his prior record of violating supervision he is pretty likely to do so again, which will put him right back in the state pen.

But kitfox, the law does not work the way you want it to. Release is something that happens at the end of a criminal sentence, not at the whim of an official. To be kept in custodial commitment for life requires the state to hold a hearing like a trial and prove (although the standard is lower than in criminal court) that he WILL be a danger to the community. The state faces an uphill battle on commitments and will devote its resources to the situations where they believe they will win. Most of these situations are first degree sexual assaults involving repeated behavior, violence, and stranger victims, which do not appear to be the case here.
.
Personally, as much as I try to be realistic about sentencing, I do find the combination of charges he faced to warrant a longer stint in prison -- but then by his own actions he managed to work that out.
.
By the way, being at Rock Valley is not a guarantee of release to extended supervision in Rock County.

schnckstac1, I looked on the circuit court system web site and quickly found 24 entry’s for this 25 year old man. He spends almost as much time in court as a judge. He is a habitual offender that has no respect for anyone or anything. He may grow out of this in time but it’s impossible for a leopard to change his spots.

Is the person with the authority to sign his release papers willing to be held responsible if this man violates again. Will this person of authority go to jail for the mistake he made in releasing a sex offender? If not then keep the convicted offender in jail forever. The police do not have the resources to track these snakes 24hrs a day.

If released the sex offender should have his entire body tattooed blaze orange so that he can be easily identified at a distance.

A loud beeper should be implanted in his body so that we can also hear him coming or know where he is lurking for his next victim.

My daughter was recently attacked by one of these freaks and had he been blaze orange and beeping she would have been able to avoid him.

It seems like this is a small price to pay for the privilege of being released.

Here we go again with the UNeducated making judgements based on fear of what they do NOT know. Ask some of your teenagers (14-16) how many older men they hang out with! I bet if they told you the truth it would shock you! I am not saying it is right, but what IF the girl was 15 and 1/2 and he was 18 and it was consentual? The words sex offender does not always mean pedophile! It does not always mean these men are out to get your children walking down the street! Over 90% of the time it's someone you know! If you are going to make judgements atleast make them based on facts!

The rate of recidivism of sex offenders within five years is roughly 13%, cynicaleye. So you'd want about 8:1 odds.

Actually he was prosecuted in Dane County.

Any bets on how long before he does it again?

They do have a way of keeping them in the system. However little jail or prison time they get is usually always followed with lots of extended supervision (parole / probation). They screw up, their parole is revoked and back to prison they go. When they go for sentencing on the parole revocation they are usually give X amount of prison time...and you guessed it...More extended supervision. They usually keep screwing up, thus staying in the system. This is why many have been in and out and in and out of prison.

The length of his sentence is notibly less than what would have been given in other Wisconsin counties..Consider the fact that our DA doesn't prosecute to the fullest of his abilites.

rape a woman in this country get 20 to 40 years in prison rape a child and get probation or a few years in prison. someone please tell me what is wrong with our government and our judges. when is this craziness gonna stop

Actually he served less than that. He was parolled and did something to get his parole revoked and sent back to prison. But thats the status quo for our judicial system isnt it? They view child molestation more as a "sickness"(bullcrap) than a CRIME. Look at Kip Lecher. He served a few months in HUBER and is back to running his ice cream shop across the street from a PARK! RIDICULOUS!

His conviction is listed as a class BC felony. From what I can find the law says that if it were with someone 16 or older it wouldnt be that serious of a felony, more like a class A misdemeanor. From the way the statutes read it appears the victim more than likely was younger than 16 years old.

Will he be opening an ice cream shop across the street froma park?
