Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Criminal

Sentencing — discretion

Mark Rigdon appeals from a judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion. He contends that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in sentencing him to a near-maximum prison sentence for a second-degree child sexual assault conviction. He further contends that the court erred in refusing to consider information about the sentences of similarly-situated defendants in denying his request for sentence modification. We reject Rigdon’s claims and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
