In Wisconsin, singers are arrested and charged while child porn cases took years to investigate

Now we know what the Wisconsin Department of Justice wasn't doing while it was busy arresting members of the Solidarity Singers for exercising their Constitution right to free speech.

Tips on Wisconsin child porn cases took years to investigate

In at least two cases, the Wisconsin Department of Justice took years to act on detailed and credible tips about online child pornography that had been referred by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, court records show.

As a result, a 19-year-old Milwaukee man with a history of sexual assault arrests was left free to allegedly molest a 15-year-old schoolmate, while a Pewaukee man who worked as a juvenile drug and alcohol counselor walked away with a nine-month work-release sentence that didn't require him to register as a sex offender.

Two special agents with the department's Division of Criminal Investigation were reassigned after Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters asked questions about the cases, and officials began a review to determine whether other tips were mishandled.

Justice Department spokeswoman Dana Brueck said the two cases "reflect some level of staff negligence."
