APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A Grand Chute mother is facing multiple charges including having sexual relations with her 2 children.
The woman appeared in Outagamie County Court Wednesday and had a $100,000 cash bond set.
“The allegation in the criminal complaint are horrific and downright disgusting,” said Outagamie County Assistant District Attorney, Alex Duros.
“The defendant is alleged to sexually assaulted her 2 children over a period of several months. Her son is 7-years-old and her daughter is 6.”
Not only did the criminal complaint say the suspect physically sexually assaulted her children, but allegations include there were sexually explicit online images and videos.
Grand Chute police officer Travis Waas tells FOX 11 what led to the suspect’s arrest Monday.
“We were alerted to the situation through cyber tips from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children.”
The center reports cyber tips to law enforcement agencies.
Appleton and Grand Chute Police officers identified the location of the images and the children.
“She indicated that she did this out of fear because someone pressured her into doing it, however that doesn’t change the fact that she did it and is facing numerous charges,” explained Duros.
The woman is facing 8 counts.
“Right now she’s facing hundreds of years in prison. Counts 1 and 2 alone each have 25-year minimum mandatory prison sentences,” Duros said.
The suspect is due back in court a week from Friday.
