SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan Alderman Kevin Matichek is charged with a repeated sexual assault of a child felony for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 15 year old boy. The criminal complaint states Matichek and the victim had multiple sexual encounters over a period of several months. Matichek says he and the victim had a friendship and did make out, but did not perform any sexual activities.
Police Captain Kurt Brasser says they did receive tips about possible criminal acts as early as last June when the alleged sexual acts began. "We received some information in the past that we were unable to substantiate, but the tip last week was really the catalysts that led us into the investigation to identify actual victims that we were able to speak with," says Brasser.
Brasser says a 17 year old boy also had a sexual encounter with Matichek, though no charges have been filed in connection to this.
An investigation is ongoing, and Matichek remains in custody.
