SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man faces misdemeanor charges for being nude in public earlier this week. 29-year-old Ryan Gruenke has been charged with sexual assault and lewd and lascivious behavior.
According to the criminal complaint, Gruenke is alleged to have been wearing a Speedo bathing suit while he interacted with a female jogger on Broughton Drive around 11 p.m. August 28. He would touch the female’s left breast, left laughing, and returned to the area naked hiding behind bushes. When asked about his conduct, Gruenke said he likes being naked, something he has done in public up to 35 times this year, but also called it an addition.
The complaint adds Gruenke may have committed similar incidents earlier in the week in Sheboygan, including one where he was naked and pleasured himself outside a residence. He was also convicted in 2010 for lewd and lascivious behavior.
