Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Rafael D. Honig

Case No.: 2014AP2968-CR

Officials: Curley, P.J., Kessler. J., and Daniel L. LaRocque, Reserve Judge

Practice Area: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Rafael D. Honig appeals a judgment of conviction, following a jury trial, of one count of first-degree sexual assault—intercourse with a person under age twelve, and one count of first-degree sexual assault—contact with a person under age thirteen. Honig also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for relief. We conclude that the trial court’s determination that Honig’s trial counsel was not ineffective was based on errors of law. We reverse.
