Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Evidence — videotaped statements
Leon L. Laudie appeals from a judgment convicting him of one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child as a persistent repeater and twenty counts of possession of child pornography as a repeater. He contends that the circuit court erred in allowing the State to introduce at trial the videotaped statement of the alleged minor victim, Rhiana V. He further contends that the circuit court erred when it denied his motion to suppress a statement he gave to police. Because we conclude that the circuit court properly admitted both statements into evidence, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
