EACINE — A Racine man accused of sexually assaulting a teenager in 2023 was sentenced to prison Friday.

Alec Venable, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of second degree sexual assault of a child May 6. One count of child enticement with sexual contact was dismissed but read into the court record.

Venable ordered to serve 12 years of initial confinement in Wisconsin State Prison, followed by eight years of extended supervision.

He also will be required to register as a sex offender for life.

According to previous Journal Times reporting, Racine Police Department officers responded to a call about a “suspicious circumstance” at Pershing Park on May 19, 2023.

A girl, who was then 15, reportedly told RPD that a man in a car approached her the previous night. The girl also reportedly told police that she had run away from home and had asked the man to drive her to a shelter.

Venable was alleged to have taken the girl to his home and assaulted her.

The next morning, he reportedly drove her to a skatepark near Pershing Park, where he allegedly attempted to prevent the girl from leaving but drove away after she walked toward three city workers.
