Police: Kronenwetter cop hired prostitute multiple times


Shereen Siewert

WAUSAU — A Kronenwetter police officer arrested Thursday is suspected of hiring a prostitute multiple times in a six-month time span, police say.
Jason Rasmussen, 41, was arrested at about 6 p.m. Thursday on charges of soliciting a prostitute and encouraging probation violations by detective supervisors with the Wausau Police Department, according to a news release issued Monday. Rasmussen was hired by the Kronenwetter Police Department as a part-time patrol officer in July 2006 and was promoted to full time in July 2007, according to the Kronenwetter Police Department website.
An investigation began April 8 when a woman approached a Wausau police officer on an unrelated call and asked to speak with the officer privately, according to the release. The woman, whose name was not released, told the officer she exchanged sex for money with Rasmussen after Rasmussen responded to an ad for adult escort services she placed on the Internet classified site Backpage.com.
The woman told police Rasmussen first hired her as a prostitute in Green Bay, but sexual encounters for money also took place in Wausau and Kronenwetter, according to the release. The woman told police Rasmussen was aware she was on probation at the time the sexual encounters took place. Investigators confirmed and verified details of several transactions before questioning Rasmussen Thursday, police said.
Rasmussen cooperated with police during the investigation, which was launched with the “knowledge and full cooperation” of Kronenwetter Police Chief Dan Joling, according to the release.
Rasmussen was released shortly after his arrest. Wausau police, citing an ongoing investigation, on Monday declined a Daily Herald Media request for the police report.
“Any further release of information may compromise the investigation,” Wausau Police Capt. Greg Hagenbucher wrote in his news release.
Joling on Friday said Rasmussen “has been placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation into the matter.”
Official charges are expected to be filed in the coming days.
