Pedophile enablers

¶26 Intent is inferable from conduct. State v. Hecht, 116 Wis. 2d 605, 623, 342 N.W.2d 721 (1984). There is sufficient evidence of Feeney’s conduct from which to infer the requisite intent.

¶27 First, when Feeney assaulted the boys in their rooms and asked Todd about a girlfriend, he had already assaulted Troy during confession after asking about girlfriends. He lied to Sharon about why he was going to the boys’ rooms, claiming he was going to hear prayers. He assaulted both boys in similar fashion, starting with his hands on their chests but evidently seeking their genitalia. In Troy’s case, Feeney repeatedly pulled the covers from his body. These actions sufficiently demonstrate intentional acts. The similarities and repetition destroy any inference the contact was accidental.
