Police arrested Isaiah S. Pesce and transported him to the Monroe County jail. Listed charges include 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a Child and Incest with Child on Dec. 13.

Appearing in court through Zoom Wednesday, Judge Todd Ziegler ordered a $1,000 cash bond with conditions. Pesce cannot make contact with the 14-year-old, the child’s residence, or school. He cannot have unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.

The court record said Pesce must be equipped with a GPS device through the bond monitoring program with an exclusion zone at his residence and Tomah High School/Tomah Middle School. He has a curfew from 9:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. except for work, treatment, or testing if approved ahead of time.
