Wisconsin Woman Accused of Sex Assault of Boy

(Appleton, Wisconsin) A 61-year-old local woman, Ann M. Werner, was arrested yesterday for the alleged inappropriate touching of a nine-year-old neighbor boy. Werner is charged with first-degree sexual assault.

The boy told police that the woman inappropriately touched him through his clothing twice from July through August, the criminal complaint says.

On both occasions, the woman smelled like alcohol and asked him whether it felt good and whether he liked it. He said he told his grandmother after the second incident. Both incidents occurred in common areas of the trailer park, in which they both live.

Following the boy’s report, Werner refused to open the door to an officer and hung up the phone when he called to convince her to come out of the home, the complaint says.

Werner was booked into custody at the Outagamie County Jail.
