MILWAUKEE -The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office says that more charges will be filed this week against swim coach Daniel Acker.
Greenfield police say Acker molested at least 28 boys over the past 30-plus years.
The Journal Sentinel says at least one, and possibly two of his suspected victims committed suicide, and a third died from drug abuse.
Many others have suffered from unsuccessful marriages and have been unable to keep their jobs.
Greenfield Deputy Inspector Bradley Wentlandt told the paper that Acker, who taught swimming for years in West Allis and West Milwaukee, would find boys from families having trouble.
He would become friends with them, buy them items, allow them to go over to his house, and he sometimes offered them drugs and alcohol.
Eventually, he would ask permission to take photos of the boys in the nude, and he would touch their privates.
Some of his victims would allow the touching, and then Acker would enter into more sexual activity with the boys.
Due to the statute of limitations and a number of victims who aren't willing or able to give enough information, police may not be able to seek more than three charges against Acker. - Todays TMJ 4
