SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan father accused of harming his son will be able to see him with conditions.
Judge Terence Bourke allowed the bond against 50 year old Joseph Dreps to be modified this week. Under new conditions, Dreps would see his son under the direction of Sheboygan County Human Services, and he would not be allowed to have violent or abusive contact with him and others named in the bond.
The son claims his father has beaten and abused him over the past three years whenever he is angry, leading to an arrest in March.
Online court records show Dreps will face a plea hearing and possible jury trial next month for a child abuse charge.
