A La Crosse man sentenced last month to probation in a child sex assault case faces new charges alleging he and his brother gang raped a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint.

According to a criminal complaint, the girl told police she had known Jeremy Wrencher for several years and on Aug. 23 went to his 333 S. Seventh St. residence to smoke pot. She told police they were drinking together in a bedroom when Wrencher, 20, began fondling her and had sex with her despite her protests.

The girl said as she was about to leave, Jonathan Wrencher walked in, pushed her to the ground and told Jeremy to get a gun. According to the complaint, they dragged her into the living room where Jeremy Wrencher put the gun to her head and had sex with her as his 28-year-old brother forced her to perform oral sex.

Jeremy Wrencher was charged Thursday in La Crosse County Circuit Court with first-degree sexual assault of a child younger than 16 by use of force, a charge that carries a mandatory 25-year prison sentence.

Jonathan Wrencher has not been charged.

Jeremy Wrencher was charged in September 2015 with sexual assault of a child under 16.
