-A Marshfield man has been charged for sexually assaulting his foster children.According to court records, 36-year-old John Hanley met with police and a social worker back in August. Hanley told them he had touched an 11-year-old while they were on the couch watching TV and he also touched a 2 and 4-year-old while they were in the shower. Hanley told authorities that he did it because he had been abused as a child and wanted to feel what it was like to be the aggressor.
Hanley has been charged with two counts of fist-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 13 and one count of attempted first-degree sexual assault of a child under 13. During his court appearance on Wednesday, Hanley had a $5,000 signature bond set against him. He also entered a not guilty plea to the charges.
