The Internet has made it easier for people in Milwaukee and elsewhere to learn personal information about others. However, the Internet has also carved out new criminal offenses that penalize individuals for wrongly using the Internet. One of these possible criminal offenses is cybsterstalking. Recently, a man has been charged with cyberstalking.

A former political campaign intern has been charged with cyberstalking and blackmailing. According to court reports, the man was arrested after police say he used the Internet and text messages to blackmail women. The man allegedly blackmailed the women by stating that he had nude pictures of the women and if they did not provide him with more nude pictures, he would release the pictures to the women's friends and family members. The man reportedly bragged about wearing an Ellis the Elephant costume to promote a book written by a presidential candidate's wife.

Being accused of any criminal offense should not be taken lightly. This is especially true for cases in which the defendant is accused of a sexual criminal offense, such as sexual assault. Sex crime convictions carry stiff penalties in Wisconsin. Recently, a teenager has been accused of sexually assaulting another teenager.

Police say that a 17-year-old male defedant has been charged with second-degree sexual assault. According to the complaint made against the defendant, the defendant asked a 14-year-old female to perform a sexual act in a school parking lot. The criminal complaint also states that the 14-year-old agreed to the sexual act. Because the incident involved the 17-year-old defendant and a 14-year-old girl, the defendant was charged with felony second-degree sexual assault. According to Wisconsin law, no individual under the age of 14 can consent to sex.

Being accused of a criminal offense should not ever be taken lightly. An individual's reputation and his or her family's status in the community may be harmed even if a defendant is not convicted. It is important that when a defendant is accused of a serious criminal offense, such as child sexual assault, a strategic defense plan is developed to reduce possible penalties. Recently, a Wisconsin man was accused of several serious sex crimes.

A resident of Waukesha is accused of sexually assaulting a child, sexually assaulting a child under the age of 16 and assisting a child's delinquency. According to a criminal complaint, three girls recently spent the night at the man's home, and the man provided the girls with marijuana and alcohol. Police say that one of the girls told them she woke up to the man touching her. According to police, another teenager told them that the man gave her cough medicine and sleeping pills. That teen also told police that she had either woken up to something occurring or had woken up and suspected something had occurred.

Simple choices individuals make can spiral out of control quickly. Some of these choices can affect other individuals and their loved ones forever. When these choices are serious and involve illegal activity, an accused defendant should create a strategic defense plan. Recently, a Milwaukee man was charged with homicide and faces serious penalties.

According to police, the Milwaukee man is facing multiple criminal charges, including reckless homicide and armed robbery, after he allegedly killed a man. Police say that the Milwaukee man was attempting to buy marijuana from another man, but when he was asked to pay $700 for the drugs, he revealed a gun. According to police, the accused then allegedly told the other man and two other individuals to get on the ground. Police records show that the Milwaukee man then stole the drugs and money and proceeded to shoot the other man in the back.
