The Brown County Republican Party chair has been charged with performing sexual acts on a boy under 18 and giving marijuana to a minor, according to court documents.
Donald Fleischman faces felony counts of child enticement and exposing himself to a child along with two misdemeanor counts for contributing to the delinquency of a child and one misdemeanor for exposing himself to a child, according to the criminal complaint.
"We just learned about this this morning, and to our knowledge he has resigned his position. We don't know any other details," RPW spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said Friday.
Fleischman faces a maximum sentence of up to 52 years and three months and a fine of up to $230,000.
Fleischman didn't return calls to his home phone or business phone. His attorney, Jeffrey Jazgar, failed to return calls by press time.
The address for Fleischman in the Brown County criminal complaint is the same one listed on the Republican Party of Brown County's most recent campaign finance report filed with the state Elections Board as well as its 527 Political Organization Filing Information. There was only one listing for a Don Fleischman in Green Bay.
Fleischman allegedly allowed at least two 16-year-old boys to stay at his house and told one of them he could "smoke pot and drink alcohol" at his house and not have to worry about anything, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint was filed Sept. 7, 2007 and says the incidents took place in 2006.
The boys lived at home for at-risk youth receiving court-ordered treatment that is located across the street from Fleischman's house. Fleischman allegedly offered the boys marijuana, and one of the juveniles alleged that Fleischman said he could stay at his house if he ever ran away.
One of the victims said Fleischman allegedly told him "it would be cool for him to have two 16-year-old roommates and he stated he would even do their laundry for them."
Green Bay Police Officer Rodney Reetz responded to Fleischman's residence Nov. 19, 2006, where he allegedly found one of the runaway boys from the Ethan House, according to the criminal complaint. The boy was hiding in an upstairs closet wearing only a T-shirt and underpants, according to the complaint. The boy said that two other juveniles allegedly were at the house and left earlier that day.
Green Bay Police Officer David Paral went to Fleischman's residence Dec. 8, 2006, when he allegedly found one of the same juveniles at his house in the upstairs bedroom. The criminal complaint alleges that Fleischman was trying to get the juvenile to turn himself into police for running away.
The complaint alleges that Fleischman fondled the boy when they would go to bed and performed other sexual acts on the boy.
Fleischman, who was released on a $20,000 signature bond, was ordered not to consume alcohol, to have no contact with any minor children and to move within 60 days of Sept. 28, according to the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access system.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 29.
He was summoned to Brown County court for his initial appearance on Sept. 28. He is free having posted a signature bond as his promise to return to court.
Fleischman's lawyer, Jeff Jazgar, said he plans to confront the charges at the preliminary hearing set for Oct. 29. He declined to discuss specifics of the allegations.
"My client is innocent of the charges," Jazgar said Friday. "Our plan is to get some witnesses to testify and present enough information to dismiss the case.
Efforts to reach Fleischman were unsuccessful Friday.
Green Bay police went to Fleischman's Goodell Street home Nov. 19, 2006, looking for two runaways from Ethan House, a juvenile facility on nearby Emilie Street, according to the criminal complaint filed Sept. 7.
Fleischman opened the door and allowed officers inside where they found a 16-year-old boy hiding on the floor of a walk-in closet wearing only underwear and a T-shirt, the complaint said.
Officers found a black, purple and blue-swirled glass pipe in the living room, which tested positive for marijuana residue, the complaint said.
Police returned to Fleischman's home on Dec. 8, 2006, and found the boy there again. He had been a runaway from Ethan House for eight days.
The teen, now 17, told authorities Fleischman took him to a hotel in Appleton during that time and then to a cabin near Florence for several days before returning to Fleischman's Allouez home. The boy said Fleischman provided him with beer and marijuana, the complaint said.
The boy told police that when he would go to bed, Fleischman would fondle him and that on one occasion he awoke to find Fleischman at the foot of his bed masturbating.
Detectives obtained the boy's drug tests from the days around the time he spent with Fleischman, and three samples from late November and early December tested positive for marijuana.
Fleischman has resigned his post with the Brown County Republicans, said Kirsten Kukowski, communications director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Efforts to confirm Fleischman's resignation with local leadership were unsuccessful Friday.
If convicted on both felonies and all three misdemeanors, Fleischman faces 52 years in prison.

Wow. What is up with everyone turning to homosexuality?
The slide toward immorality and hades continues. Satan never sleeps.
Everybody seems to forget what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Or maybe the fall of Rome?
Unless we engage in the Culture War, we will be relegated to being a footnote in history.
Hey Pervs, Theives, and other idiots - GET OUT OF MY PARTY!!! That is all....

Meanwhile, Barney Frank continues to be re-elected in Massachusetts.
They're doing it because it so "with it", it's SO normal, it's so about "love", it's such an equal way of life with heterosexual marriage, it's so attention-getting, it's approved by big-name political, religious and entertainment figures.....and it's so risk-free with no little unexpected rug-rats to worry about.....and high medical bills are footed by moral, straight, taxpaying suckers in this country.
Plus, the 60's and the groovy liberals have taught the country ....if it feels good, DO IT.

since this particular faggot was born in 1970, one would reasonably assume he learned his immoral tricks in the 1990’s, not the 60’s.....
