RACINE — A 38-year-old Cudahy man pleaded not guilty Thursday in connection to allegations of sexually assaulting a child and possessing child pornography.

Michael Wezyk was charged April 22 with one count of second degree sexual assault of a child under 16 years of age. On April 29, he was charged with five counts of child pornography possession.

The maximum sentence upon conviction for second degree assault of a child is a fine of up to $100,000, imprisonment of up to 40 years, or both.

Wezyk could face a fine up to $100,000 and up to 25 years of imprisonment for each count of child pornography possession.

According to a criminal complaint, the Racine County Sheriff’s Office began investigating following a report from the child’s biological father.

The complaint alleges Wezyk took the child to a bar and assaulted her between January and May 2024.

Wezyk also reportedly made inappropriate comments about the child and her sister, according to the complaint.
