Milwaukee Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Sleeping Oak Creek Teenager

A 49-year-old Milwaukee man is facing charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a sleeping Oak Creek teen on two different occasions.

James Richard Coleman was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Tuesday on two counts of second degree sexual assault of a child under 16 years old. If convicted, he faces up to 80 years in prison and $200,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Coleman was staying with a family in Oak Creek after getting kicked out of his girlfriend’s residence. On two occasions he began assaulting the teenage girl while he thought she was asleep. In the first incident - which took place Sept. 21 - the victim said she saw Coleman enter her room when her parents were out. He then began grinding his pelvis against her backside.

She continued to act asleep through the episode until he stopped and woke her up.

The second incident occured the next day when Coleman entered the room and began licking the girl’s genitals while he thought she was asleep. He again woke her up after the incident.

According to Online court records, Coleman remains free, but an arrest warrant has been issued against him.
