JANESVILLE — A 57-year-old Janesville man was charged Tuesday in connection to an alleged sexual assault that reportedly occurred when he was a gym teacher at St. Thomas Day School in Waterford.
Michael Pipp faces one count of first degree child sexual assault with a person under 13 and one count of child enticement.
Both charges are considered repeat offenses because of a 2016 Waukesha County case in which Pipp was convicted of causing mental harm to a child.
Racine County Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch set a $20,000 cash bond during an April 15 hearing. Pipp is scheduled to appear in court on April 24.
According to a criminal complaint, the alleged assault occurred during the 2014-15 school year when Pipp was employed at the school.
Following Pipp’s charges in Waukesha County, the school sent a letter informing parents of his 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.
