-A Marshfield man charged for sexually assaulting his foster children appeared in Wood County Court on Monday.According to court records, 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.
During his court appearance, Hanley was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, two counts of third-degree sexual assault. Hanley is free on a $5,000 signature bond. He’ll be back in court in August for sentencing. He could face 10 years in prison on each charge.
