SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Plymouth man will be spending a long time in the state prison system for sexually assaulting his toddler son for over a year.
Judge L. Edward Stengel sentenced 44 year old Scott Saeger this week to ten years of confinement, followed by 16 years extended supervision. The sentence comes after Saeger pleaded no contest to a count of repeated sexual assault of the same child, having committed at least three violations of first-degree sexual assault.
The charge came about after Plymouth Police began investigating a complaint from early November 2014.
The criminal complaint states the then four year old told investigators he would do “naked stuff” with his dad, Saeger, at various places where he and other family members live, adding that when they did this “it hurt."
A later interview with the child’s mother determined that Saeger was watching his son when she would be gone during the evenings to attend classes at Lakeshore Technical College.
The most recent incident prior to the interview occurred when the three of them were together to celebrate the son’s fourth birthday in late October, 2014. They spent the night at a hotel near Plymouth, but the following morning the mother found her son crying and with his pants unzipped and lowered.
The complaint adds that there was an investigation for an earlier complaint in February of 2014 involving the same child, but it did not proceed due to the inability of the son to articulate his story to investigators.
