A 75-year-old female teacher's aide has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the repeated sexual assault of a 14-year-old student in the basement of a Wisconsin religious private school.
Anne Nelson-Koch worked at the Tomah Baptist Academy located in Tomah, Wisconsin during the 2016-2017 school year. During that time, she lured the teen to the school's basement and forced him to perform heinous sexual acts.
At trial she was found guilty on over a dozen counts, including sexual assault of a child, child enticement-sexual contact and exposing genitals/pubic area/intimate parts to a child.
She initially had been facing up to 600 years in prison.
On Friday, Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Richard Radcliffe imposed a 10-year-prison sentence followed by 15 years of supervised release. She was taken into custody following sentencing to begin serving her decade-long sentence.
She was also convicted on 25 counts of repeated sexual assaults. The sentences against her will run concurrently, Fox News reported.
After her release from prison she will then be supervised by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) for 15 years.
Judge Radcliffe said the sexual assault of a child is 'one of the most serious crimes in the criminal justice system.'
He stated that Nelson-Koch 'used her position of power over the victim to meet her own needs, recognizing she (Nelson-Koch) was an authority figure trusted by the victim.
The judge extended his gratitude to the victim for his courage, commending him for being 'a leader of his family and community.'
Radcliffe said Nelson-Koch's impact on the victim and his family was an aggravating sentencing factor while Nelson-Koch's character was a mitigating one, remarking Nelson-Koch is 'nice,' 'selfless,' 'giving,' and 'hardworking,' according to a press release posted on the Tomah Police Department's Facebook page.

Laz would NOT hit that! When he's 75 Laz might hit that with a cane but other than that...you get the idea.
How old ??? Am I reading this right.
You just don’t expect that from Granny Clampett.
Golden Bachelorette?
“How old ???...”
Since this is a religious school I’ll put it in religious terms. Methuselah.
If she was capable of this manipulation and abuse at this age, I shudder to think how many other victims she has had over the years.
Guilty beyond a shadow of doubt. Guiltiest naughty teacher EVER!!!
Let’s not be too hasty, wait until she’s released...
“If she was capable of this manipulation and abuse at this age, I shudder to think how many other victims she has had over the years.”
I was thinking the same thing. There has to be more victims out there.
She has a ten year sentence so she will be 85. Like I said Laz might hit that with a cane when he’s that age.
You owe me a new keyboard. I’ll never get all the iced tea off of this one.
Ah. All I saw was 600 years. Bill Clinton territory...
“It could be a dementia symptom. “
I thought of that but wouldn’t they have caught it when they did a medical on her? They always have shrinks/doctors on both sides examine the defendant so would they have not found this?
guilty.
Is that a ‘soul patch?’
Fair point. No idea if that’s a requirement, or if that’s routine in that jurisdiction.
