A 40-year-old Brodhead man faces charges after the pastor at a local Amish church reports he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old.
Daniel Yoder made his initial appearance in Rock County Court Tuesday morning on charges of child enticement and sexual intercourse with a child. He arrived in court wearing traditional Amish garb.
Court Commissioner Jack Hoag set a signature bond of $1,000 and ordered Yoder have no contact with his victim and no unintentional contact with any other child.
According to the criminal complaint, Yoder was staying with family in the town of Magnolia while going through a divorce when authorities say he sexually assaulted the teenager multiple times.
He’s accused of having consensual sex with the girl’s 23-year-old sister.
