Sheboygan,Wi (WHBL) - Its Complicated.
22-year old Alan Rodriguez has an upcoming trial in Sheboygan County Court on sexual assault charges. That’s apparently at the center of charges Alan’s mother is now facing.
47-year old Carol L. Rodriguez is facing one count of battery or threat to a witness for allegedly threatening the woman who accuses her son of sexual assault.
First, it should be pointed out that as a condition of Alan’s current case, he is restricted from contact with the victim,either directly or indirectly.
A criminal complaint filed in Sheboygan County court alleges that on September 30, 2015, the alleged victim, an 18 year old, reported to police that she received a call from Carol Rodriguez’s phone, while she (the victim) was in the hospital.
The woman says Alan Rodriguez made the call, and alleges that Alan’s mother Carol could be heard making comments in the background that were directed at her.
She states that Carol could be heard saying, “If you testify at the trial, I’ll have my people from Chicago come up and take care of you.”
The woman says the call abruptly ended after the threat was made.
A woman who was with the victim at the time says that she returned the call to the mother’s phone and says Alan answered, apologized- saying his mother was drunk, and asked her not to call the police. She called the police.
Police questioned Alan and the mother about the allegations.
In the criminal complaint, Alan claims that he and the teen have been in contact numerous times and says that the victim has also picked him up since the charges were filed.
Carol denies making threats against the teen, and says she only warned her son about talking to her, because he could get in more trouble,
Carol could face up to six years in prison, and fines of up to $10,000 if convicted.
