Parish T. Palmer, a Sheboygan resident, was charged last month with stalking and harassing a woman, including one incident in which police say he poured bleach onto her bedroom and living room furniture.

Palmer, 23, had a key to the woman's apartment, but was prohibited by the terms of a bail bond from contacting her. The young woman, also 23, told authorities that Palmer had repeatedly claimed he would "(expletive) her up." On January 24 of this year, she noticed him walking away from her home, and came inside to discover bleach had been splashed on several items of furniture. 

Palmer has been charged with felony stalking and misdemeanor trespassing and property damage. If convicted, he could face up to three years of jail time.

Three Oregon teachers spoke at the state capitol on Wednesday, seeking the right to sue the manufacturer of a type of light bulb which they say caused injury to their eyes.  The teachers had successfully lobbied to ban the metal halide light bulbs from public schools two years earlier.

Under Oregon state law, product liability lawsuits must be filed within eight years of the product's purchase.  As a result, the teachers were not eligible to sue the light bulb maker. Oregon is one of the few states in the country which has such a legal provision.  State lawmakers are currently considering Senate Bill 307, which would extend to 25 years the amount of time plaintiffs have to file a liability lawsuit after purchase.

Denise Fletter, one of the teachers who spoke on Wednesday, must wear sunglasses and has now had to give up teaching due to eye damage she said was caused by exposure to the bulbs.  The teachers claim that the faulty design of the light bulbs in question led to the leaking of ultraviolet radiation.  The bulbs were removed from schools in 2007.

John Monacelli, a therapist who worked in the Sheboygan area, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 29-year-old-man and a 39-year-old-woman.  Both victims claimed Monacelli forced them to recount past acts of sexual abuse and reenact them with him.

Monacelli explained to the patients that recounting the sexual acts was the only way they would ever get over their memories and prolonged drug abuse.

Monacelli threatened both victims, telling them if they did not stay quiet he would have the man sent back to jail, and would prevent the woman from obtaining custody of her children.

The 29-year-old man claims he told Monacelli he did not feel comfortable performing  the sexual acts, and Monacelli fired back with, “No one will believe a junkie like you over me.”

Alan J. Jepson, a 17-year-old Sheboygan boy, was charged with sexual assault of a child under 16-years.  According to a criminal complaint, the boy was charged for allegedly having sex with the 14-year-old girl.  Charges could be as severe as 25 years in prison.

On Tuesday, the day before the arrest, the girl’s mother reported the girl as a runaway, and told police she suspected she had sought refuge at Jepson’s residence.  Additionally, the mother told police the girl may be pregnant.  Jepson was arrested in his home that day, and the girl was found at the house.

According to an account in the complaint, Jepson claims he had known the girl for 3 months, and had had intercourse with her 2 or 3 times. 

Under Wisconsin law, any suspect, no matter the crime, is charged as an adult if they are 17 years of age or older.  Apparently, the girl had lied and told police, and also Jepson, that she was 16 years old.
