La Crosse man accused of raping woman he took home from a bar
A 38-year-old La Crosse man with a history of criminal charges is now accused of felony sexual assault.
Prosecutors say Curtis Stevens assaulted a woman this month, after he drove her from the Stein Haus bar downtown to his apartment.
Stevens denies the assault charge, claiming the woman was drunk and had passed out.
This is the first felony charge for Stevens. He could get 40 years in prison, if he’s convicted.
