Plea Withdrawal
By: Derek Hawkins//May 24, 2017//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Richard J. Scott
Case No.: 2016AP1411-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Hagedorn, J.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Richard J. Scott appeals from a judgment entered upon his plea of guilty to engaging in repeated acts of sexual assault of the same child and possession of child pornography. Scott further appeals from an order denying his motion seeking plea withdrawal pursuant to WIS. STAT. RULE 809.30 (2015-16). Scott contends that he is entitled to withdraw his plea because he was charged with a version of engaging in repeated acts of sexual assault of the same child that no longer existed at law and there was no factual basis for his plea to possession of child pornography. We disagree but modify the judgment to reflect that Scott pleaded guilty to WIS. STAT. § 948.025(1)(e) (2007-08).
