This happened in 2011. Is there an update anywhere?

Edit: found it. http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/court-rejects-suit-in-sex-assault-case-involving-wisconsin-boy-6-b9967916z1-218169441.html

Apparently the suit was thrown out, thankfully.

“D” suffers from ADHD. He allegedly touched his 5 year-old female companion inappropriately. She is the daughter of a well-known political figure in Grant County, Wisconsin. Although, the political figure’s 5 year-old son (present with his 5 year-old sister), allegedly committed a similar act, the son was not charged.

(From here.)

This whole thing is just fucked up. Obviously neither one of the boys should be charged, but how can one be and the other not be? Just because he's the son of a politician? Lisa Riniker is a terrible person

modernbenoni · 2014-07-11T23:09:35+00:00

Two weeks after leveling her initial charges, Riniker filed a follow-up petition accusing the 6-year-old of groping two teenage babysitters.

Seriously how does Lisa Riniker sleep at night?

Kria234 · 2014-07-11T23:52:57+00:00

I had to do a double-take after reading the article. A 7-year old being listed as a sex offender is oneof the biggest piles of COW FECES I have seen.

For fuck's sake, the kid is 7. Lisa Riniker can go die in a hole, for the absolute shit that kid is going to have to deal with in life, regardless of how the prosecution decides. Thanks for ruining a 7-year old's life, JACKASS.

Kids playing doctor unleash grown-up consequences in Wisconsin

Offer only applies to the kids who are male of course.

theegrimrobe · 2014-07-11T21:51:36+00:00

this is just fucked

seriously

Even levelheaded, informed parents are liable to freak out when they stumble upon toddlers engaged in a playhouse exploration session.

With cases like this occurring, these levelheaded, informed parents aren't freaking out about what the children are doing, but what kind of abuse society will inflict on them in the name of justice.

timo103 · 2014-07-12T02:04:21+00:00

I can't even come to this subreddit anymore, it just makes me angry.

ALinkToTheCats · 2014-07-12T04:50:20+00:00

It seems like anyone who touches anyone under 18 can be put on a sex offenders list. 6 year olds, consenting teens who are both under 18, even married couples where one is under 18. At this rate, the sex offender registry will mean nothing.

2014-07-11T21:35:47+00:00

Ahhhh the justice system at its best.

IamUltimate · 2014-07-12T04:34:16+00:00

My favorite part is when they say that once he turns 18 he has to register as a sex offender. I can just imagine the conversation. "You look pretty young for a sex offender" "yeah, twelve years ago I touched a girls butt..."

squeak6666yw · 2014-07-12T11:25:59+00:00

Here is the two important sentences that show they prosecutor got away with this.

this sentence in the posted article - "Riniker is also depicted implying that she will seek to remove the couple’s children from their custody if they refuse to sign a consent decree admitting guilt." and this in your article - "His parents finally signed a consent order and the matter was dismissed." If i'm reading this write the parents took the deal to keep there kids and they admitted the boys guilt.

9001 · 2014-07-12T06:17:41+00:00

Next we'll hear about an infant boy molesting his mother by sucking her breast.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

asdfgasdfg312 · 2014-07-12T01:13:16+00:00

America pls.

I can't believe how insanely fucking sick this is.

saltytrey · 2014-07-12T04:08:46+00:00

I sincerely hope something terrible happens to everyone involved with this decision.

2014-07-12T07:55:59+00:00

America is such a fucked up country

When I was 7 years old I had the biggest crush on my second grade teacher. One of the things I used to wonder was what would happen if I boy my "boy private parts" in her "woman private parts" and if people had ever tried to do that. Guess I was just advanced for my age. Should've seen my face when I actually learned how babies are made

duganaok · 2014-07-12T08:54:43+00:00

I am getting so sick of this shit

Sherlock--Holmes · 2014-07-12T10:38:02+00:00

My friend's daughter who was 14 fooled around with his stepson who was 17 and got arrested. He actually went to jail and is now registered as a sex offender.

sam63333 · 2014-07-12T10:49:34+00:00

This would've never happened in Australia due to 'doli incapax', which refers to children being 'incapable of crime' if they are under 10 years. Terrible thing to happen to a child.

RManReeves · 2014-07-11T23:32:49+00:00

My Lord, it's in my home state, too. Good thing I plan on leaving before I plan on having any kids.

ConfirmedCynic · 2014-07-11T23:38:55+00:00

Insane.

hyugafan · 2014-07-12T06:17:52+00:00

Ludicrous.

juanqunt · 2014-07-12T06:27:12+00:00

Absolutely ridiculous. Pretty sure most people have done similar things when they were 6. You're a blank slate at that age and is just curious about everything.

2014-07-12T07:19:42+00:00

Once again, when you elect members of the criminal justice system this is the "tough on crime" kind of bullshit you should expect.

This is certainly a men's issue, but this is also part of a much larger issue of misconduct on the part of D.A's and often Sheriffs as well.

Until D.A's and Sheriffs don't have to play the politics game, this sort of stuff will continue to happen.

Ak_Float_Flyer · 2014-07-12T14:42:44+00:00

Charges were dropped, and hopefully the boy will recover. http://wispolicestories.com/category/lisa-riniker/

Paul-ish · 2014-07-12T14:50:53+00:00

Two weeks after leveling her initial charges, Riniker filed a follow-up petition accusing D of groping two teenage babysitters, taking off his clothes, rubbing his body on their legs and attempting to kiss them. According to court records, Riniker subsequently offered to drop the babysitter allegations—if the boy signed off on the initial petition.

This is obviously coercive. Someone needs to find a way to prevent prosecutors from doing this.

Nomenimion · 2014-07-12T23:09:04+00:00

This DA is a pervert who uses the legal system to abuse children.

Downvotesohoy · 2014-07-12T09:29:11+00:00

Why is only the boy being punished?

carniemechanic · 2014-07-12T12:06:34+00:00

Thanks for getting me upset on a Saturday morning. /s

I'm speechless. This is beyond asinine. There's something wrong in this country. I don't know if it's the water or what. But this goes against every ounce of common sense I have. The fucking boy is SIX! Maybe the mom should be watching him? Maybe talk to the boy instead of ruining his life. You know this will too. He will be afraid of touching girls. Maybe become an outcast.

This is why I'm libertarian. We don't need government to solve every little problem. Tell the kid he's wrong. Punish him. But fuck why did you call the police? Can anyone deal with problems on their own anymore? I purposefully avoid getting help for stuff unless I need it because THAT'S what this country is about. This shit is what happens when people become dependent on other people solving their problem.

I just called the prosecutor in Wisconsin, grant county, Lisa Riniker. Call! this is utterly beyond the pale.

2014-07-12T14:59:18+00:00

The war against boys and normal child sexual exploration / sexuality continues.

secondsbest · 2014-07-12T16:29:57+00:00

Did anyone else notice that the boy had gone through some medical procedures with a real butt doctor? The real injustice is the fact that he had some legitimate prior experience which instigated the game, and he also understood that he was playing a role of a helpful doctor with no sexual pretence, but since he was a boy, he is sexually perverted.

The_Devil_Memnoch · 2014-07-12T17:04:40+00:00

I just... Oh look another example of "What're you gonna do next America"? Force a child to get a needle in his dick (against his will) so you can photograph it "for evidence"... Oh what's that? You already have the proper warrant? Oh well then I guess that makes it ok... (yes this warrant was issued for a teenager). The sex offender registry should not be used nor taken lightly. A six year old just needs to be correctly educated...

masterrod · 2014-07-12T17:53:29+00:00

District Attorney Riniker is prosecuting a child, now 7, for a first-degree felony sexual assault that supposedly took place when he was 6. The boy’s alleged crime? His part in a play date with two 5-year-old siblings, a boy and a girl, that degenerated into a “butt doctor” party.

Wtf?

This is interesting.

Family lawyers say that D had undergone enemas and rectal examinations for medical conditions prior to the play date, and that D claims he was “touched wrongly” by the girl’s brother. No charges have been filed against the brother.

He literally was playing what he saw! wow!

2) Lisa Riniker’s blind justice: In a petition for protection or services filed November 12, 2010, District Attorney Lisa Riniker alleged that D “did have sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 12.” Wisconsin law considers “intrusion, however slight, of any part of a person’s body” to be sexual intercourse. Judge Edward Leineweber found probable cause to proceed with the petition, reasoning that the boy needed only to have penetrated the girl and known she was under a certain age. “Even the most immature 6-year-old could appreciate these two concepts,” wrote Judge Leineweber. In April 2011, Riniker claimed that the petition “isn’t about punishing [D]; it’s about making sure he gets the help he needs.” Lawyers representing D’s family contend that admitting guilt to the petition’s first-degree sexual assault accusations will force D to register as a sex offender once he turns 18. Two weeks after leveling her initial charges, Riniker filed a follow-up petition accusing D of groping two teenage babysitters, taking off his clothes, rubbing his body on their legs and attempting to kiss them. According to court records, Riniker subsequently offered to drop the babysitter allegations—if the boy signed off on the initial petition.

He got roped into this.. I suspect also terrible lawyers on the family side. He was actually doing what kids do, do what they see.

3) Parents will be parents. “From the beginning, it was our hope and our goal to work this out between the families and to talk and figure out what was happening privately,” the girl’s father told the Wisconsin State Journal. “We were not given that opportunity by the [boy’s] family.” For their part, the boy’s family was granted a restraining order against the girl’s parents after complaining of harassment and tailgating.

Wow..

4) The stacked system. D’s parents, identified as Jennifer and Kurt D, have filed a lawsuit against Lisa Riniker, and Grant County Department of Social Services investigator Jan Moravits. The suit alleges that D has suffered “anxiety, depression, vomiting, crying and lack of sleep because of the investigation and prosecution” and claims that Riniker delivered a summons to the 6-year-old threatening him with jail for failure to appear. Riniker is also depicted implying that she will seek to remove the couple’s children from their custody if they refuse to sign a consent decree admitting guilt. Riniker’s prosecutorial zeal is not entirely inexplicable. The suit contends that the girl’s father is a highly placed, politically connected official in Grant County, and that social services investigator Jan Moravits, who is said to have accused D’s parents of witness tampering, is the girl’s aunt.

Fuck that shit.. This is like gang tactics.

5) You’re never too young to be a sex criminal—for the rest of your life. “The legislature could have put an age restriction in the statute if it wanted to,” said District Attorney Riniker. “The legislature did no such thing.” The Wisconsin legislature is not alone in that perhaps intentional oversight. A 2007 report from Human Rights Watch found 11 states where teenagers must register as sex offenders, for life, if convicted of having sex with another teenager—even if no age difference exists between the teens. These laws have literally placed married couples on a public registry of sex offenders for having engaged in premarital sex with one another while under age 18. If District Attorney Riniker prevails in her campaign to criminalize D for his actions as a 6-year-old, at least he will be in good company.

The questions here is how did boy prove that he had sexual intent? Clearly if he was playing doctor his intent was to do exactly what the doctor did to him, to two other people.

The family just needs more money.

passionPunch · 2014-07-12T17:55:25+00:00

Christ these posts titles belong in the onion. Can't believe this happens.

Rinleigh · 2014-07-12T18:21:27+00:00

Stuff like this makes me sick. Let's just ruin this boys life for no reason. And if they think he does need some psychiatric help he can get that without being labeled a sex offender. Pi don't even have words for how angry this makes me.

orezinlv · 2014-07-12T18:27:47+00:00

And next on the docket:

A 8 month old baby boy charged for sexual assault for yanking at his babysitter's blouse and trying to suckle without the victim's consent.

/s

Ridiculous you say? Why is a prepubescent 6 year old being held to adult standards less so? If he should have the ability and responsibility under threat of prosecution to act like a responsible adult he should also have had the right to vote, and drink, and drive...

2014-07-13T03:00:15+00:00

this was 3 years ago and he wasn't forced to register as anything, headline is rather misleading.

KevintheNoodly · 2014-07-14T15:18:29+00:00

Why is is possible to criminally charge a 6 year old of anything much less something that will affect him forever?

tazzydnc · 2014-07-12T09:43:38+00:00

Feminist madness.

JeremyCraven · 2014-07-12T01:00:32+00:00

Was he playing doctor or proctologist? There's a difference.

therealmasculistman · 2014-07-12T02:58:09+00:00

From the article:

Two weeks after leveling her initial charges, Riniker filed a follow-up petition accusing D of groping two teenage babysitters, taking off his clothes, rubbing his body on their legs and attempting to kiss them.

I'll play devil's advocate and just say that kids do some pretty offensive things before they learn they are offensive. I'm all for giving warnings, but at some point there also have to be consequences. I think legal action is extreme, but this appears to be a pattern of negative behaviour and adult action must be taken to correct it. It's just a shame that it got to this level.

Unenjoyed · 2014-07-12T08:06:29+00:00

Stop with your old news, baiting bullshit. Your title is bullshit and you need to get a clue.
