Joel T. Kohlmann - Repeat Sex Offender - Compulsive Freak

Other past offenses, according to Kohlmann’s admissions, include exposing himself to 12 people under the age of 18 and having sexual contact with five children, ages 5 to 14.


A convicted sex offender was charged Friday for allegedly exposing himself to a gas station clerk in Adell four times in recent weeks.

Joel T. Kohlmann, 36, of rural Adell, in each case waited until the same female clerk was alone in the store, said Capt. Dave Adams of the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department. The offenses occurred at the Adell Mini-Mart, 127 Edgewood Ave.

Kohlmann, of N1442 Highway 28, is charged with three counts of misdemeanor lewd and lascivious behavior, each of which carries a maximum penalty of nine months in jail. He is being held on a $500 cash bond.

A criminal complaint said Kohlmann entered the store about 5:20 a.m. on July 6, July 17 and Wednesday. Each time he picked out two sodas from a rack and the back of the store and walked up to the counter with his genitals exposed.

Kohlmann also came to the store at 5:20 a.m. Thursday, but other customers were in the store and he did not expose himself. He was arrested later Thursday and admitted to intentionally exposing himself to the woman three times and to clerks on an unspecified evening, as well, the complaint said.

Kohlmann told police he hoped the woman would be attracted to him after seeing his genitals.

Court records show Kohlmann was convicted of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 13 in 1999. He also has a history of exposing himself.

Kohlmann was charged in 1999 for exposing himself 16 times to a bartender at the Eagle’s Club in Plymouth. He was convicted on five counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and sentenced to probation.

Kohlmann was sentenced simultaneously in the sexual assault case, receiving a six-year prison term that ended in February 2006. The probation from the misdemeanor case then took effect, and it was revoked in April 2007 after he repeatedly walked around nude in front of a large picture window at his home.

Other past offenses, according to Kohlmann’s admissions, include exposing himself to 12 people under the age of 18 and having sexual contact with five children, ages 5 to 14.
