WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jeffrey T. Ziegler

Case No.: 2019AP858-CR

Officials: NASHOLD, J.

Focus: Plea Withdrawal – Sufficiency of Evidence

Jeffrey Ziegler appeals judgments of conviction, based on his guilty pleas, for two counts of invasion of privacy. He also appeals an order denying his motion to withdraw his guilty pleas. Ziegler argues that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to withdraw because there was no factual basis for the guilty pleas. Specifically, he asserts that the facts are insufficient to show that he looked into the victims’ windows “for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification,” an element of invasion of privacy under WIS. STAT. § 942.08(2)(d). The judgments and order are affirmed.
