A Suring man pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Green Bay to two counts of having sex with a minor on the Menominee Indian Reservation in 2015.
According to the plea agreement filed in court this week, prosecutors will recommend that William Wilber IV, 37, serve 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release.
District Judge William Griesbach set sentencing for June 27. Wilber remains in custody until then. A trial had been set to begin April 17.
In exchange for his guilty pleas, prosecutors agreed to seek dismissal of one count of sexual assault of a minor.
Wilber pleaded guilty to having sex with a then 14-year-old girl in May 2015 at the Legend Lake property his family owned. He also pleaded guilty to having sex with a then 15-year-old girl in July 2015 at the Legend Lake property.
Griesbach is not bound by the terms of the plea agreement, and can also order Wilber to pay restitution for counseling and other expenses if the victims request it.
