One additional charge is filed against a man accused of sexually assaulting children in Barron County.
Prosecutors say five victims have reported abuse at the hands of 82-year-old Robert Karstensen. He was initially charged in Eau Claire County in June, but an additional charge of repeated sexual assault of the same child was filed in Barron County yesterday. The new charge comes after a now-36-year-old victim described abuse be Karstensen at the Chetek River Campground when she was six or seven.
The suspect is currently housed at the Eau Claire County jail, but will be in Barron County court later this month for the new charge.
