Man appealed sexual assault conviction -- and now, he's convicted again

WASHINGTON COUNTY (WITI) -- 44-year-old Corey Uhlenberg has pleaded guilty to an amended charge of second degree sexual assault of a child.

FOX6 News first told you about Uhlenberg last week.

We learned Uhlenberg -- who pleaded guilty to a sexual assault charge back in 2011, appealed his conviction -- and that meant a little girl, who was just five years old at the time of the crime, could have been forced to relive the horror of the sexual assault.

Now, we've learned that the case against Uhlenberg has again been resolved.

Uhlenberg is now convicted of second degree sexual assault of a child.

The appeal filed after Uhlenberg's conviction details the process West Bend police went through to interview the 44-year-old.

A detective told Uhlenberg he was not under arrest, but was being interviewed.

Court documents say Uhlenberg said: “I am not going to say another word and I want an attorney.”

The detective did not stop the interview, and Uhlenberg made numerous statements incriminating himself.

Uhlenberg’s attorney argued the interview should have stopped until an attorney was present, and says those statements should not have been used against Uhlenberg in court.

A judge agreed.

Those who know the victim in the case were worried she would have to testify in a new trial for Uhlenberg.

Uhlenberg has a sentencing hearing scheduled for July 9th.
