Brown County Republican Party chairman faces sex charges


Fleischman's attorney denies allegations

The chairman of the Republican Party in Brown County faces criminal charges for allegedly fondling a 16-year-old Ethan House runaway and providing the boy with beer and marijuana late last year.

Donald Fleischman, 37, of Allouez, was charged last month with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a single charge of exposing himself to a child.

He was summoned to Brown County court for his initial appearance on Sept. 28. He is free having posted a signature bond as his promise to return to court.

Fleischman's lawyer, Jeff Jazgar, said he plans to confront the charges at the preliminary hearing set for Oct. 29. He declined to discuss specifics of the allegations.

"My client is innocent of the charges," Jazgar said Friday. "Our plan is to get some witnesses to testify and present enough information to dismiss the case.

Efforts to reach Fleischman were unsuccessful Friday.

Green Bay police went to Fleischman's Goodell Street home Nov. 19, 2006, looking for two runaways from Ethan House, a juvenile facility on nearby Emilie Street, according to the criminal complaint filed Sept. 7.

Fleischman opened the door and allowed officers inside where they found a 16-year-old boy hiding on the floor of a walk-in closet wearing only underwear and a T-shirt, the complaint said.

Officers found a black, purple and blue-swirled glass pipe in the living room, which tested positive for marijuana residue, the complaint said.

Police returned to Fleischman's home on Dec. 8, 2006, and found the boy there again. He had been a runaway from Ethan House for eight days.

The teen, now 17, told authorities Fleischman took him to a hotel in Appleton during that time and then to a cabin near Florence for several days before returning to Fleischman's Allouez home. The boy said Fleischman provided him with beer and marijuana, the complaint said.

The boy told police that when he would go to bed, Fleischman would fondle him and that on one occasion he awoke to find Fleischman at the foot of his bed masturbating.

Detectives obtained the boy's drug tests from the days around the time he spent with Fleischman, and three samples from late November and early December tested positive for marijuana.

Fleischman has resigned his post with the Brown County Republicans, said Kirsten Kukowski, communications director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Efforts to confirm Fleischman's resignation with local leadership were unsuccessful Friday.
If convicted on both felonies and all three misdemeanors, Fleischman faces 52 years in prison.

Well, here is what the Wisconsin Republicans say in their
Republican Party Platform:

http://www.wisgop.org/Our_Platform.aspx

FAMILY VALUES

I believe that family is the central unit of a healthy society, and marriage should be clearly defined in our law. I believe that human life is a gift from God, and deserves protection.
- Congressman Mark Green, Republican candidate for Governor

We commit ourselves to the values that strengthen our culture and sustain our state and nation: faith, family, personal responsibility, and a belief in the dignity and value of human life. Prosperity with a purpose and compassionate conservatism bind us together in a great enterprise for the future of our children.

We continue to believe that traditional families, homes and communities are the foundation of strength in our society and we reaffirm our commitment to them. Parents should be responsible for the overall sex education of their children and schools should teach abstinence and monogamy. We specifically pledge to support marriage as a union between one man and one woman only.

There's a difference between what they say and what they deliver.

Oh well.

Just for grins, here's what the Texas Republicans (better known as the Texas Taliban) wrote in the Texas Republican Party Platform on the topic. These are the people who gave you George W. Bush:

Strengthening Families and Promoting a Freer Society

Celebrating Traditional Marriage

Family and Defense of Marriage - We support the traditional definition of marriage as a God–ordained, legal and moral commitment only between a natural man and a natural woman, which is the foundational unit of a healthy society, and we oppose the assault on marriage by judicial activists. We call on the President and Congress to take immediate action to defend the sanctity of traditional marriage. We urge Congress to exercise authority under the United States Constitution, and pass legislation withholding jurisdiction from the Federal Courts in cases involving family law, especially any changes in the traditional definition of marriage. We further call on Congress to pass and the state legislatures to ratify a marriage amendment declaring that marriage in the United States shall consist of and be recognized only as the union of a natural man and a natural woman. Neither the United States nor any state shall recognize or grant to any unmarried person the legal rights or status of a spouse. We oppose the recognition of and granting of benefits to people who represent themselves as domestic partners without being legally married. Texas families will be stronger because of the passage by Governor Perry and the 78th Texas Legislature of the "Defense of Marriage Act", which denies recognition by Texas of homosexual "unions" legitimized by other states or nations.
We urge the repeal of laws that place an unfair tax burden on families. We call upon Congress to completely remove the marriage penalty in the tax code, whereby a married couple receives a smaller standard deduction than their unmarried counterparts living together. The primary family unit consists of those related by blood, heterosexual marriage, or adoption. The family is responsible for its own welfare, education, moral training, conduct, and property.

Marriage and Divorce - We believe in the sanctity of marriage and that the integrity of this institution should be defended, protected, strengthened, and nurtured at all levels of government. No fault divorce laws have caused untold hardships on American families, by reducing their standard of living, and by harming the emotional and physical well–being of children. It has contributed to an increase in government assistance of all kinds. We call upon the Texas Legislature to rescind no–fault divorce laws. For these reasons we support Covenant Marriage, which has proven effective in stemming the tide of divorce. We recommend the following provisions in line with this concept: 1) pre-marital counseling and, 2) a pre-nuptial agreement that when problems arise within the marriage, both parties will agree to marriage counseling with the intent of restoring the marriage to its proper balance and harmony.
Marriage Licenses - We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for a same-sex couple.
Homosexuality - We believe that the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable "alternative" lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should "family" be redefined to include homosexual "couples." We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, recognition, or privileges including, but not limited to, marriage between persons of the same sex, custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
Texas Sodomy Statutes - We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.

So what your saying is that the Republicans should watch very closely and if someone is gay they shouldnt help them get elected to office. Ok.

A certain New Jersey governor(Democrat) comes to mind.........

Yes, that's what I'm saying -- if they're Republican, and if they want to cleave to their Party Platforms, anyway. Democrats and Independants don't have such limitations.

[Logan13]

Are you saying that Democrats and Independents have no morals?
Your argument is naive. In the US, murder is obviously against the law. Since people commit murders every year regardless, does that mean we should abolish such "limitations" as well? A few bad eggs.......

try using the spellcheck........

[Tock]

Are you saying that Democrats and Independents have no morals?

No, what I'm saying is, if Republicans are discovered molesting minors, then someone ought to make sure the kids weren't sucked into becoming Republicans themselves.

[Tock]

By the way, to further demonstrate that Fox News is biased in favor of Republicans, try to find a Fox News report on this story. I couldn't find one, and I'm pretty good at tracking these things.

[RA]

Right, they are dirtbags but its ok because they have no standards to live by.

it is not newsworthy beyond the region. Most people are not obsessed with others sexual exploits, only you.

[Tock]

Right, they are dirtbags but its ok because they have no standards to live by.

Gay Democrats go out to clubs, pick up a date, go home and screw. Unless, of course, they already have a sweetie, in which case they go out to dinner, a movie, and then go home and screw.

Heterosexual Republicans with wives and kids who work to protect Heterosexual Marriage, and who want to get a piece of strange either:
a) offer $20 to undercover cops at public restrooms
b) entice undercover cops in public restrooms with a "wide stance"
c) patronize call-girls when they're away from home and their wives
d) give BJ's to teenagers while they try to sleep
e) all of the above

Standards? You speak of standards? Republican Party Platforms are full of them. Republicans keep preaching the virtues of "Godly, Bible-based Family Values." And what do they do when nobody's looking? They screw like Democrats whenever they get a chance, only they do it in public restrooms.

Standards? You speak of standards? Don't talk to me about Republican standards. I know about them, and they suck chancred penii.

[RA]

Yes, they are HOMOSEXUALS tock. Seems like you wouldnt rail against them so hard. Just because we have a few that dont live up to the standards does not mean the standards are wrong.
