RACINE — A 58-year-old Janesville man was sentenced to eight years in prison Monday related to an alleged sexual assault that occurred when he worked as a gym teacher at St. Thomas Day School in Waterford.
Michael Pipp was charged with one count of first degree child sexual assault with a person under the age of 13 and one count of child enticement.
The charges were filed as repeat offenses because of a 2016 Waukesha County case in which Pipp was convicted of causing mental harm to a child.
Pipp pleaded guilty to the sexual assault count Monday. The second count was dismissed but read into the court record.
He also was ordered to serve eight years of extended supervision.
Pipp originally pleaded not guilty in April 2025.
According to a criminal complaint, the alleged assault occurred during the 2014-15 school year when Pipp was employed at the school.
Pipp reportedly was terminated from the school following the charges in Waukesha County. The school sent a letter informing parents about the termination and the allegations against him.
In 2022, a forensic interview was conducted with the child, during which she reportedly alleged that Pipp sexually assaulted her during gym class.
