Retired Cop accused of Beating and Sexual Assault

RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) -- A retired Rhinelander police officer is accused of beating and sexually assaulting a woman.

Sixty-one-year-old Greg DeRosier faces trial in Oneida County on charges of third-degree sexual assault, battery and intimidating a witness. The woman told investigators DeRosier was at her house Oct. 3, became angry and beat her. She says DeRosier then ordered her to the bedroom where he sexually assaulted her. The Daily News reports the woman says DeRosier warned her that if she contacted police "there would be a price to pay."

Defense attorney Jeff Jackomino asked the woman during cross-examination in court why she didn't yell for her teenage daughter during the attack because she was in the home at the time. Jackomino also asked the woman why she waited several days before calling police. - WTMJ 4
