High School Closes Gender-Neutral Bathroom After Student Is Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Another Student

Authorities arrested an 18-year-old student at Rhinelander High School in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, after the student allegedly sexually assaulted one of his fellow students.

According to WSAW-TV, authorities arrested the 18-year-old student — identified as Austin Sauer — on Thursday on charges of child enticement, fourth-degree sexual assault, and exposing genitals to a child.

The Wisconsin Legislature defines fourth-degree sexual assault as “sexual contact with a person without the consent of that person.”

A spokesperson for the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said the incident took place in the school’s gender-neutral bathroom. The school has now closed the bathroom to its student population.

Capt. Terri Hook said the school did not notify parents of the incident because it was reportedly an isolated occurrence. (Read more from “High School Closes Gender-Neutral Bathroom After Student Is Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Another Student” HERE)
