A pedophile begged his 14 year-old victim not to expose his sexual abuse because he didn’t want to get raped in jail, police say.

Milwaukee firefighter Robert Olson, 44, reportedly molested the girl on numerous occasions – then texted her begging her to stay silent, it is claimed.

Olson, arrested last Wednesday, is said to have written: ‘I am so sorry got (sic) what happened, I didn’t mean to, please don’t go, please don’t tell anyone, I am going to prison, I’m going to get raped.

‘I am so sorry…I want to help you…’


Olson, a lieutenant with Milwaukee Fire Department, is also said to have texted his alleged victim’s family begging them for clemency.



Those messages, shared by prosecutors read: ‘In the last three months since this happened, I have done a ton of work to regain trust.

‘I have already made extreme life changes and carry this every day like a 100-pound weight no matter what it looks like on the outside.

‘I assure you I’ve taken ownership and I’m still trying to.’

But Olson’s pleas fell on deaf ears, with his alleged abuse later reported to Oak Creek Police Department.

Further details of his alleged abuse have yet to be released, and it is unclear how he knew the girl reported to be his victim, or when the attacks happened.

The Milwaukee Fire Department has also opened an internal investigation into Olson’s conduct and says it is taking the matter extremely seriously.

He is also set to be suspended from his job as a result of the police investigation.

He has been charged with sexual assault of a child under the age of 16, Fox6 reported.
