Former City of Sheboygan Human Resources Director Adam Westbrook, who resigned his position on August 30th last year under a cloud of suspicion, has been arrested on four counts of possession of child pornography and four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. The arrest of the current Outagamie County Human Resources Director at 3:40 a.m. Friday by the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office was reported by Fox-11 News in Green Bay. Formal charges have yet to be filed, but a court appearance for arraignment is scheduled for Monday according to the Sheriff.
Westbrook submitted his resignation from the Sheboygan position one week after an open records request was filed concerning allegations that Westbrook made an unwanted homosexual innuendo toward a City of Sheboygan intern. Of those allegations, City Attorney Charles Adams confirmed that his investigation into the matter was closed after finding that there was no violation of any city codes. Adams added that Westbrook’s resignation was “simply a resignation”, and had nothing to do with the allegations.
Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson’s office released this statement Friday: “We are shocked by the charges and have begun the process to terminate the individual. We will continue to cooperate with authorities and do all that we can to assist in the investigation.”
