A sex offender who once lived in a duplex owned by the Brown County sheriff is back in jail, now that police say he sexually assaulted two underage girls -- the same crime he committed seven years ago.
Late Friday afternoon, the district attorney filed more charges against Christopher Streckenbach.
Ashwaubenon police say he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl and had sex with another 15-year-old.
Streckenbach was back in court Friday. Originally he was charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old runaway. According to court documents, a friend of that girl came forward claiming Streckenbach molested her, too.
Charges against Streckenbach include three counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16, eight counts of a registered sex offender intentionally photographing a minor without consent, and false imprisonment.
Police arrested him in early January. He's in jail on $200,000 bail.
He had been on probation, living in a duplex on Dousman Street. He moved in before the city passed an ordinance restricting where sex offenders can live.
In a written statement, Sheriff Dennis Kocken, who was Streckenbach's landlord, said he knew he was renting to a registered sex offender.
"I gave him a second chance but he failed," Kocken wrote. "I empathize for his family, especially his son and daughter, who also felt that he was on the right track as a parent. I feel bad for the misguided teenager who was solicited by my tenant."
Streckenbach no longer lives on Dousman Street and the sheriff has a "For Rent" sign up.
Streckenbach is due back in court next Friday.
