MEDFORD – A Clark County Sheriff’s Sergeant living in Spencer is free on bond after initial court appearances on charges of sex and threat crimes against children.

Jeremy D. Chapman, 38, was taken into custody June 12 at his residence in the Village of Spencer, after the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant, with the assistance of the Wisconsin Department Of Criminal Investigations ( DCI) and the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office.

The search warrant was the result of an ongoing Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation. As a result of the investigation and search warrant, Chapman was taken into custody and booked into the Taylor County Jail on charges of Sexual Exploitation of a Child, Child Enticement, Threats to Injure or Accuse of Crime, and Threats to Communicate Derogatory Information.

A bond hearing was held, and Chapman was released on a $2,500 dollar cash bond along with a $10,000 dollar signature bond.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has been fully cooperating with the investigation, according to Taylor County Sheriff Larry Woebbeking.
