GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A woman accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy has been found not competent to stand trial, putting the case on hold while she receives psychiatric treatment.
Kaitlyn Skar, 27, is charged with child enticement and repeated sexual assault of a child for the incidents.
Competency refers to a suspect’s ability to understand the court proceedings and assist in her own defense. At a hearing Tuesday, Judge Beau Liegeois ruled Skar not competent. She will receive treatment at a mental health facility. The case will be reviewed Aug. 21, court records show.
A mother reported to police her son was having sexual relations with Skar. The boy had been saying that Skar was harassing him and threatening to have people beat him up as well, according to the criminal complaint.
Skar and the boy allegedly met because Skar is the neighbor of the boy’s aunt. When they first met, Skar had given the boy some cookies and asked him if he wanted a “puff” on her vape. The two then exchanged phone numbers.
The boy said that he told Skar that he was 13 years old. Still, Skar allegedly texted him and used Facebook Messenger to talk about “cuddling, holding hands and watching movies.”
Those conversations allegedly elevated to Skar saying the boy was “making her ‘horny.'” Later, she sent him sexual videos as well, according to the complaint.
The boy went to Skar’s apartment, where the boy said they had sex in her bedroom.
After two other sexual encounters, Skar became upset with the boy for not responding to a video chat, according to the criminal complaint.
The boy went on to tell Skar that he was cheating on her, but Skar said “he didn’t know what cheating was, he was only 16 years old.” The complaint says she then proceeded to threaten him.
Skar apologized to him the next day and said “she wasn’t trying to go to jail.”
Skar admitted to police that she had sexual contact with the boy multiple times but said she thought he was 16 years old.
The age of consent is 18 in Wisconsin.
Skar is charged with repeated acts of sexual assault of a child and child enticement. If convicted, she could face up 65 years in prison.
