Child Enticement & Sexual Assault – Brown County (May 2026)

Result: Mid-Trial Dismissal of All Six Felony Counts

Handled By: Attorney Michael Covey

Summary: A nurse at a locked in-patient mental health facility was charged with six felony counts, including Child Enticement and Causing a Minor to Expose Genitals, following allegations from two separate teenage patients. The State’s strategy rested entirely on the purported similarities and behavior patterns between the two independent accusations. Attorney Covey aggressively attacked the plausibility of the State’s timeline, demonstrating that the alleged conduct took place in a quasi-public conference room with a window, located directly adjacent to a busy nurses’ station. During a lengthy and rigorous cross-examination of the primary accuser, Attorney Covey exposed ever-changing and highly contradictory statements, causing the prosecution’s case to collapse. Following this cross-examination, the State moved to dismiss all six counts mid-trial, completely vindicating the client without the case ever needing to reach the jury.
