WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — One of three men facing charges over the repeated sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl has entered a guilty plea.
WAOW TV reports that 37-year-old Ger Yang of Wausau pled guilty to child trafficking charges in court this week. Other counts including second-degree sexual assault of a child and child enticement will be dismissed but read into the record for sentencing.
Charges stem from a November 2020 incident that occurred at a house party. According to police, Yang paid the girl $60 to have sex with him after she ran away from her foster home. He also participated in a group sexual assault of the girl at the home of Dennis Moua, 32, in Wausau, where about 20 other people were present.
Yang’s sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 7.
In January, Moua was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by 10 years of extended supervision on multiple counts, including party to the crime of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
The other man, Jacob Lo of Wausau, is charged with two Class D felonies of child enticement. Lo faces misdemeanor charges of sexual intercourse with a child 15 years or older, where the actor is younger than 19.
His trial date has not yet been set.
