WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE -
A group of community activists met face-to-face with the Milwaukee district attorney, demanding criminal charges against the police chief for having an extramarital affair.
While they appreciate the crime fighting success of Milwaukee's police chief, they say Ed Flynn's extramarital affair with Jessica McBride is criminal.
"It's a felony act," said one activist." The chief has admitted to being in this affair and we think these issues need to be investigated."
Thursday, the group filed a citizen complaint with the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission against Flynn.
On Friday, the commission reaffirmed to FOX 6 News its satisfaction with Flynn's job performance. The commission says it will fully investigate the adultery complaint to determine if Flynn violated any city laws.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm says adultery, while a felony in Wisconsin, is not on his office's front burner.
"This is not a crime that is prosecuted," said Chisholm. "And I know of no case that's been prosecuted by this office since I've been an assistant [district attorney]."
A class one felony of adultery can bring three and a half years in prison.
The group vows if the district attorney doesn't charge Flynn, they'll take their case to the state attorney general or ask a judge for a John Doe investigation of the matter.
So far, there has not been any comment from Flynn or the police department on the complaint.
