The backstory:
A criminal complaint said Tyler was an MPS employee and basketball coach. Prosecutors accused Tyler of sexually assaulting a child who he tutored.
Court filings said the child told investigators that Tyler would pick him up from school and, one day, Tyler took him to a New Berlin warehouse. The boy said Tyler got upset with him, pulled him into a bathroom, pulled his pants down and sexually assaulted him. After, he said Tyler asked him: "Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Tyler denied inappropriately touching a child. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in February.
