A 16-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department who sits on the state's law enforcement standards board and the police union's executive board is expected to be charged Monday with three sex crimes.

Steven J. Lelinski, 41, will be charged in court Monday afternoon, Milwaukee Deputy District Attorney Jon Reddin said last week.

Reddin declined to specify the charges. But a copy of the complaint obtained Saturday by the Journal Sentinel indicates Lelinski will be charged with second-degree sexual assault (use or threat of violence), attempted second-degree sexual assault - both felonies - and lewd and lascivious behavior, a misdemeanor. If convicted of all counts, Lelinski would face up to 60 years in prison.

The complaint alleges Lelinski met a woman while on duty and then pursued her for several weeks before assaulting her on Oct. 18 in her home while he was off duty.

After the alleged assault, the complaint says, Lelinski "threw a twenty-dollar bill on the floor as he was leaving. He then told (the woman) that she should expect police to come to her house and arrest her on a warrant."

2. Scary to think there are more police officers just like this creep!

That poor woman! I hope she finds justice for her rape.
