2nd Degree Sexual Assault – Langlade County (August 2025)

Result: Felony Charge Dismissed During Jury Trial; Resolved as Misdemeanor with Time Served

Handled By: Attorney Michael Covey

Summary: The client was charged with forcibly sexually assaulting a teenage girl, exposing him to years of potential imprisonment. The jury trial centered on the credibility of the alleged victim. During cross-examination on the first day of trial, Attorney Covey elicited more than a dozen highly inconsistent statements that fundamentally undermined the State’s case. The prosecution dismissed the second-degree sexual assault charge mid-trial. The client entered a plea to a single misdemeanor and received time served, avoiding a lengthy prison sentence.
