Alleged sex offender returns to courtroom

Following a year’s absence due to medical-based issues which resulted in an extended stay at a Michigan hospital, an Antigo man was returned by law officers to Langlade County Circuit Court Tuesday where he is awaiting prosecution for child sexual assault.

At 60-years-old, Edward “Freddy” Fleming is at risk of spending the remainder of his life in prison on allegations he molested a young girl during the summer of 2012. The details of the case were obtained through statements provided by the girl, first to a family member and then to a social worker at a child advocacy center in Wausau.

The crime, first degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 13, carries a maximum 60-year term of imprisonment upon conviction.
