BARRON, Wis. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy from Minnesota is being held in jail in northwestern Wisconsin in connection with allegations of felony child-sex crimes.

The 60-year-old Jeffrey Masek is charged in Barron County with child enticement-sexual contact, attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child and using a computer to facilitate a child-sex crime.

The Cottage Grove, Minnesota man is a Hennepin County sheriff’s deputy. The sheriff’s department says Masek has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Court documents do not list a defense attorney who could speak on Masek’s behalf.
