An Eau Claire man is looking at more than 20 years behind bars for a sexual assault at the Oakwood Mall.
A jury yesterday convicted 32-year-old David Allen of second-degree sexual assault. He started blackmailing an 18-year-old for nude pictures back in 2020, that escalated to a meeting at the mall in December of 2021. Allen told the woman he’d give her money to see her naked in-person. She agreed because she said she needed the money.
But once in the mall’s family bathroom, she said Allen sexually assaulted her. He’s due to be sentenced in March, and could get 26-years behind bars.
