Falls Man Charged After Sex With 16 Year Old

A 61-year-old Menomonee Falls man is facing charges after he allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old girl he met Online.

Gregory W. Stoermer was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Wednesday with one count of lewd and lascivious behavior for allegedly having sex with the underage girl during a January rendezvous at his residence. If convicted, he faces up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint, Stoermer allegedly met the victim on an Online dating site and began chatting with the girl and eventually met up with her for a date, which then led to sex.

The victim’s mother became concerned after she realized her daughter hadn’t come home yet, the complaint states, so she called what turned out to be Stoermer’s phone number stored in the home telephone caller ID and told him she was looking for her daughter and would call the cops if her daughter didn’t call.  

The complaint alleges the victim told investigators a girl she went to school with gave her the idea of meeting older men Online in an effort to have them give her “certain things in life.”

The complaint alleges the victim told Stoermer several times she was 18 years old before they engaged in sex.

Stoermer is scheduled to make his initial appearance in court April 6.
