According to the criminal complaint:

On July 14, 2020, Detective Shaun Goyette was contacted by Detective Jeremy Wilson of the Oshkosh Police Department advising he had received a report regarding a sexual assault that occurred in Juneau County.

Wilson and a child protective services worker responded to the juvenile's residence, where they spoke with the juvenile with the consent of the juvenile's mother. The juvenile stated that about one year prior, David Becker began touching him inappropriately.

The juvenile said Becker forced the juvenile to touch and rub him on several occasions. On other occasions, Becker would touch the juvenile with his hands and mouth. The juvenile stated Becker would tell him not to tell anyone.

According to the complaint, in two recorded conversations over social media and over the phone Becker was asked to stop touching the juvenile, to which he said it "won't happen."

On July 17, 2020, the juvenile stated in an interview that the abuse started in the summer of 2019 and continued through July 2020. Goyette confirmed that the dates given by the juvenile matched with times the juvenile was around Becker.

Becker is scheduled for a plea hearing Sept. 1 at the Juneau County Justice Center.
