Daniel Barber of North Hudson pleaded no contest Monday in St. Croix County court to charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child, child enticement and possession of child pornography. Six counts of child sexual assault and five counts of possessing child pornography were dropped in a deal with prosecutors. A sentencing date hasn’t been set.
The 46-year-old former Somerset officer was accused of sexually assaulting several boys between 2004 and 2014, including two toddlers and five others under age 9. Prosecutors say Barber offered to baby-sit for many of the victims and sometimes used Craigslist and Facebook to connect with parents.
First-degree sexual assault of a child carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
