DE PERE, Wis. (AP) — A De Pere nursing home caregiver is charged with sexually assaulting an elderly patient.
A criminal complaint filed in Brown County charges 33-year-old Theodore Schartner, of Howard, with two felonies. A judge on Monday ordered Schartner held on $50,000 bond.
Prosecutors say Schartner assaulted a 76-year-old patient at Rennes Health and Rehab Center last month.
Press-Gazette Media reports defense attorney Carrie LaPlant argued for a lower bail, saying Schartner has no criminal record and has strong ties to the community. Schartner is due back in court Oct. 13.
