FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – A Fond du Lac man is facing several charges after being accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a babysitter beginning when she was 11-years-old.
41-year-old Jose Veliz made an initial court appearance Tuesday. Online court records indicate Veliz had a $50,000 cash bond set.
Veliz is charged with repeated sexual assault of a child, second degree sexual assault, 2 counts of child enticement and a count of intimidating a victim. He’s due back in court for a preliminary hearing June 16.
According to the criminal complaint, the now-14-year-old girl described to police multiple incidents of Veliz having sex with her, estimating it happened 30 to 40 times.
The girl claims that Veliz would threaten to hurt her, her mom, or the child she babysat if she said anything.
