BACKLOG KIT TESTING LEADS TO CHARGES FOR LACROSSE MAN

Attorney General Josh Kaul today announced that another individual has been charged with sexual assault after a victim’s sexual assault kit was tested as part of the Wisconsin Sexual Assault Kit Initiative.

36 year old Hank W. Elmore of La Crosse, was charged June 19, 2020 with an alleged sexual assault by use of force that occurred in 2010. Elmore’s initial appearance was July 6, 2020. The complaint alleges the defendant had sexual intercourse with another person without their consent and by use of force in July 2010.

A sexual assault nurse examination was conducted after the alleged assault. The sexual assault kit was tested in 2018 as part of the Wisconsin SAKI project, and DNA in the kit matched to Elmore. Elmore has prior convictions for sexual assault.
