Authorities say just because Eau Claire is ranked in Wisconsin’s top three cities for sex crimes, doesn’t mean there are more sex offenders in Eau Claire than anywhere else.
Sheriff Ron Cramer yesterday said the report from the state’s Department of Justice highlights the number of reported sex crimes per-capita. Eau Claire had 157 sex crimes per person from 2014 to 2018. Sauk County had the most, followed by Lincoln County.
