MENOMONIE — A former Boyceville man who pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a child has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison and five years of extended supervision.
Patrick Korwicki, 38, appeared with his attorney, Francis Rivard, for a sentencing hearing in Dunn County Circuit Court before Judge James Peterson on September 22.
Online court records list an address in Downing as Korwicki’s current residence.
As part of a plea agreement, Korwicki pleaded guilty at a court hearing in June to the sexual assault of a child, and Judge Peterson dismissed the remaining counts but ordered them read into the record for sentencing.
Korwicki originally was charged with two felony counts of the repeated sexual assault of a child with at least three violations of first or second degree sexual assault, two felony counts of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, three misdemeanor counts of possessing drug paraphernalia, and one misdemeanor count of bail jumping.
In a separate case in which Korwicki was charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and misdemeanor bail jumping, Korwicki pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, and Judge Peterson dismissed the count of misdemeanor bail jumping.
Prosecuting attorney Megan Kelly asked that Korwicki be sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision.
Rivard asked that Korwicki be sentenced to three to five years in prison and said there was no problem with 10 years of extended supervision.
In addition to sentencing Korwicki to 10 years in prison and five years of extended supervision, Judge Peterson ordered Korwicki not to possess any firearms, not to vote until his rights are restored, to maintain absolute sobriety, to complete a mental health assessment and follow through with any treatment recommended, to be evaluated for the sex offender program, to complete sex offender treatment, to comply with registration as a lifetime sex offender, to have no contact with the victim or her immediate family, to have no unsupervised contact with minors, and to pay restitution for counseling costs.
At the conclusion of the sentencing hearing, Korwicki was remanded into custody.
A restitution hearing was held September 24, and restitution of $748 and court costs of $268 and a $250 DNA surcharge were paid in full by the $5,000 cash bail Korwicki posted in November of 2019.
Judge Peterson also granted Korwicki 68 days of credit for time already served.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim told a Child Protective Services social worker from Dunn County Human Services that Korwicki had sexually assaulted her about a dozen times and that she particularly remembered one incident because it had occurred the day before her 15th birthday.
The victim also described one of the assaults as violent “because it hurt” and said other sexual assaults “were the same drunk ones,” according to the complaint.
Korwicki denied having any sexual contact with the victim when he spoke to Boyceville Police Chief Greg Lamkin.
