One month after being accused of groping and sexual harassment, Rep. Bill Kramer faces potential sexual assault charges stemming from yet another alleged incident.

Two days after the Waukesha Republican decided not to run for re-election, a prosecutor said that the Muskego Police Department on Wednesday referred to him sexual assault charges against the Waukesha Republican.

Assembly Republicans stripped Kramer of his title as majority leader earlier this month after accusations that he sexually harassed a female lobbyist and groped a legislative aide while in Washington, D.C, for a fundraiser.

Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said the possible charges are being independently reviewed by one of the prosecutors in his office. He declined to offer any details but did confirm that the referral stems from a different alleged incident from the one on the East Coast.

"This has got nothing to do with the D.C. thing, at least not directly," Schimel said.

Schimel said the referral would be reviewed quickly but told Waukesha NOW, which first reported the news, that he didn't know whether a charge would be issued or whether further investigation would be required. He didn't comment on whether Muskego police had recommended charges, saying he deliberately sought to leave the case to a subordinate.

Schimel, a Republican candidate for attorney general, announced earlier this month that he was giving a $500 campaign donation from Kramer to charity after the first allegations were made against the lawmaker.

The district attorney said Wednesday that he has known Kramer for a long time and supported his past runs for the Assembly. In addition, he knows another unidentified person connected with the case, making it inappropriate for him to be involved for multiple reasons, Schimel said.

"I just need to stay out of this one," Schimel said.

Aides to Kramer, who has checked himself into an unspecified treatment program but remains in office, had no comment. Kramer himself didn't respond to a phone message.

A spokesman for the Muskego police also did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Kramer filed paperwork Monday with state election officials saying he wouldn't seek another term. Gov. Scott Walker and others have called on him to resign.

Sources have also described to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel an incident involving Kramer and a congressional staffer that occurred in the "recent past," not at the February fundraiser. The newspaper does not identify the names of possible victims of sexual assaults or harassment unless they agree.

Assembly lawmakers have not sought further disciplinary action against Kramer following the decision by Republicans to remove him from his leadership post and replace him with Rep. Pat Strachota (R-West Bend). Under Assembly rules, Kramer could be reprimanded, censured or expelled by his fellow lawmakers.

But doing so would take a full vote of the Assembly — two-thirds of that house's lawmakers would have to vote as a bloc for expulsion. The Assembly finished its last regular floor session on Friday. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) is on a business trip out of state, and a spokeswoman for him had no comment on the latest allegation against Kramer.

Kramer's district is overwhelmingly Republican, and the GOP is widely expected to retain the seat in the November elections.

Witnesses have alleged that Kramer hugged a legislative staffer and touched her breasts at a social event after the D.C. fundraiser. He also allegedly made vulgar remarks about his sexual prowess to a lobbyist on that night of Feb. 26 and again the next day on a flight back to Wisconsin.

The legislative aide has filed a personnel complaint against Kramer. It is being investigated by Mark Kaeppel, the Legislature's human resources manager, and the review is ongoing, Assembly Chief Clerk Patrick Fuller said.

Kramer's stint as majority leader was brief. He was elected to the post in September, after then-Majority Leader Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford) stepped down from the Assembly.

Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) raised concerns about Kramer's behavior at the time.
