RACINE — A Racine man was sentenced to prison Tuesday in connection to allegations of sexually assaulting a child.
Larry Bergey, 52, was charged April 15 with one count of first degree sexual assault of a child younger than 13 and one count of exposing genitals. The criminal complaint was amended April 21 to additionally include one count of incest with a child.
Bergey pleaded guilty to the second and third counts. The sexual assault charge was dismissed but read into the court record.
He was sentenced to 15.5 years in prison followed by 12 years of extended supervision.
Bergey previously pleaded not guilty in June.
Allegations
According to a criminal complaint, officers from the Racine Police Department were sent to an elementary school in March in response to allegations that a child had been sexually assaulted.
RPD interviewed the child, who reportedly alleged that Bergey sexually assaulted her and “told her not to tell anyone.”
In an April 14 statement, Bergey allegedly said he had “an incident” with the child weeks earlier, during which he touched her genitals and exposed his genitals to her.
According to the complaint, Bergey also reportedly described a different occurrence with the child’s sister.
Bergey allegedly admitted to taking a photo of the sister’s genitals for “medical purposes,” and to sending the photo to an Oak Creek man, from whom Bergey said he received child pornography.
According to the complaint, Bergey reportedly said the man would text him ideas of what to do with the children and discussed incest and fantasies regarding underaged girls.
