A former custodian at Kromrey Middle School in Middleton, Wisconsin is set to go on trial this week for allegedly sexually assaulting a child. James Myers, 41, faces a felony charge of repeated sexual assault of the same child.
According to court records, the alleged offense occurred in September 2012 in Mount Horeb prior to Myers' employment at the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District. The victim was reportedly between 4 and 5 years old at the time of the abuse, which allegedly took place while they were being babysat by Myers' then-girlfriend.
The school district placed Myers on leave during the investigation and confirmed that he is no longer employed with them. Jury selection in the trial is scheduled to begin Monday morning, with the trial set to run from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Background: The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District has a population of over 7,000 students and employs hundreds of staff members, including custodians like Myers who are responsible for maintaining school facilities.
