Michael Rogers, accused of repeatedly locking his young daughter in a dog cage, has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors, his lawyer, Mark Rohrer, said Wednesday.

District Atty. Ken Kratz confirmed the plea deal with Rogers but wouldn't release terms of the agreement. He and Rohrer said details would become public at a court hearing Friday.

Rogers and his wife, Angeline, who have five children, each were charged in December with 10 counts of felony child abuse after police found their daughter, then 7 years old, in a dog cage in the unheated basement of the family's home in Brillion, east of Appleton. The girl was covered in her own waste and had been left without food or bathroom privileges for hours at a time, the police report said.

The alleged abuse came to light in November after the girl's 11-year-old brother walked to a police station to seek help for her.

The boy also told police of other instances of abuse that he and some of his siblings endured, including being struck with poles, police said.

The children, who range in age from 1 1/2 to 11, now are living in four different foster homes.

Angeline Rogers had not reached an agreement with prosecutors as of Wednesday afternoon and is scheduled for trial May 26, said Kratz.

The charges against the couple, both of whom are 28, carry a maximum of 90 years in prison.

Rohrer said there had been negotiations between his client and Kratz "on and off for a while."
