LAKE MILLS — A Lake Mills man has been charged with multiple counts of felony sexual abuse.
Leslie Thomas Myers, 40, was arrested last week on three counts of second-degree sexual abuse and three counts of third-degree sexual abuse following an investigation by the Lake Mills Police Department and the Winnebago County Attorney’s Office.
If convicted on all counts he faces up to 105 years in prison, Winnebago County Attorney Adam Sauer said in a press release.
His bond has been set at $25,000 cash-only.
Myers received a deferred judgment and was put on probation in June after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of sexual exploitation of a minor.
He was charged in that case after electronic media depicting a minor involved in a sex act was seized during a search warrant at his home in April 2014.
