JUNEAU, WISCONSIN — A 27-year-old Beaver Dam man accused of groping two Beaver Dam police officers has pleaded not guilty.
Benjamin L. Greenleaf, who appeared in Dodge County Circuit Court on Thursday morning, faces three counts of felony bail jumping, three misdemeanor counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and three counts of disorderly conduct stemming from two incidents during a party Dec. 8 at a Beaver Dam residence.
A status conference is scheduled for Feb. 23.
According to police reports, Greenleaf approached an officer who was investigating an underage drinking party at a home on Sloan Circle, put his arm around the officer and allegedly grabbed the officer's genitals. After being verbally warned that he could be arrested for such conduct, Greenleaf approached the officer again and grabbed him in the same manner, according to the report.
After Greenleaf was taken into custody, another officer at the scene reported that he had also warned Greenleaf after the Beaver Dam man had brushed up against him, making contact with his genital area, according to the report.
If convicted, Greenleaf faces 21 years in prison and $63,000 in fines.
Greenleaf faces two counts of battery to a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting and obstructing an officer in Fond du Lac County stemming from a separate incident.
