An Outagamie County judge found enough evidence exists to send a convicted sex offender to trial on a recent sex assault charge.
Jeffrey J. Walker, of 214 W. Pacific St., is charged with second-degree sexual assault with use of force and will enter a plea Feb. 17.
A 51-year-old neighbor told police she had been watching television Jan. 18 with Walker, 44, when he left and she went to bed. She said she was sleeping when Walker returned, threatened to kill her and forced her to have sex with him.
The charge carries a maximum 40 years in prison.
The state sex offender registry shows Walker was convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child in Brown County in 1992 and is required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
He is being held in the Outagamie County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond.
