MADISON - Attorney General Brad Schimel did not recommend jail time in a pair of cases where 17-year-olds sexually assaulted younger victims when he was a county prosecutor in the early 2000s, court records show.

The cases are drawing criticism from Democrats as the GOP attorney general heads into his re-election bid.

As an assistant district attorney in Waukesha County in 2003, Schimel prosecuted Dustin Yoss for attacking two 15-year-olds. In one incident, Yoss was alleged to have held down a girl and pulled down his pants before she escaped.

In another, Yoss allegedly badgered a different 15-year-old to have sex with him and offered her $500 to do so. She repeatedly refused but eventually relented. Afterward, he allegedly badgered her to have sex a second time until she agreed. During that second time, she told him to stop but he wouldn’t stop, according to the criminal complaint.

Schimel charged Yoss with five felonies and four misdemeanors. In 2004, he reached a deal in which Yoss pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault of a child. The other charges were dismissed, though some of them could be considered for sentencing purposes.

The judge gave Yoss one year in jail and 15 years of probation.

Schimel made no sentencing recommendation, other than to ask that the judge bar Yoss from contacting the victims......................................

2. With so many perverts out preying on young women we need to carry defensive weapons. If

The courts won’t protect women, we need to protect ourselves.
