Former officer charged with sexually
assaulting intoxicated, sleeping woman
A former Rothschild police officer has been
charged with sexually assaulting am intoxicated 21-year-old woman.
A police statement says 22-year-old Corey
Yolitz, of Kronenwetter, resigned from the Rothschild Police Department on
Saturday, one day after the alleged assault. Court records say the Schofield
woman had been at a bar and was "extremely intoxicated" when she
accepted a ride home from Yolitz early Friday.
Yolitz was off-duty at the time. She told
police he dropped her off and left, but that she was awakened later by someone
having sex with her.
Yolitz was charged Monday with second-degree
sexual assault of an intoxicated victim and burglary.
Court records say he told Everest Metro
police he couldn't recall if he had sex with the woman.
His attorney did not immediately return a
message left after hours.
