A town of Mukwonago man states he feels "horrible" after alleged sexual assault of a 13-year girl.

Joshua Skaggs, 18, was charged Thursday, July 20, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with sexually assaulting a child younger than 16 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to the criminal complaint, on June 28, Skaggs picked up a 13-year-old girl from her house a little after midnight. The complaint said Skaggs had been sending Snapchat messages to her.



The complaint said they drove around for some time talking. Afterward, they smoked a few bowls of marijuana and then had sex.

Skaggs said “he felt horrible for doing what he did but he understood that he had to deal with the consequences," according to the complaint. His next court date is Sept. 7.
