The Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Wednesday that Wisconsin state Rep. Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, is facing possible criminal charges for an alleged sexual assault stemming from Muskego, Wis.
Kramer was accused in late February of groping a woman during a trip to Washington, D.C., and making inappropriate comments to another woman on the return flight. He was removed from his position earlier this month due to these allegations.
The district attorney’s office is reviewing Kramer’s criminal reference, which was confirmed by Julie Delain, a supervisor in the office. Delain confirmed the referral came from the Muskego Police Department, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Brad Schimel, Waukesha County district attorney and Republican candidate for attorney general, was quoted in the Waukesha NOW newspaper saying the criminal referral involves sexual assault allegations.
In addition to these accusations, Kramer is also subject to a personnel investigation regarding allegations about the fundraising trip to Washington, D.C., according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
