todayJanuary 5, 2018

A Fond du Lac woman has been convicted of failing to protect a 6-year-old girl from sex crimes.  Forty year old Ellen Neumann entered an Alford plea this week in Fond du Lac County circuit court.   Under the plea Neumann doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a conviction.  Charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child and causing a child to view sex acts were dismissed but read into the record.  Neumann is one of three people charged in the case. A trial is scheduled for January 9 for 41-year-old Shane Berg,  on charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child.  Eighteen year old Tory Tuinstra was convicted of sexual assault of a child and is scheduled to be sentenced February 12.  Neumann is accused of forcing a six year old girl to watch as she and Berg had sex.   Assistant police chief Steve Thiry says the assaults allegedly occurred at a Ruggles Street residence.  According to a criminal complaint Tuinstra described the lifestyle in the house as dominance/submissive.  Thiry says Tuinstra told investigators that Berg was the dominant one and goes by the name Master Wolf.    According to the complaint everyone in the house wore dog collars, including the six year old victim who wore a purple collar.
