How Outagamie, Sauk and Racine Counties all relate to the arrest of former City of Sheboygan Human Resources Director Adam Westbrook were made clear in a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Sauk County Court, where Westbrook was to make his initial appearance on Wednesday. Westbrook was arrested at his Neenah home last week and transported to the Sauk County Jail awaiting his arraignment.
The criminal complaint alleges that Westbrook, then Human Resources Director for Outagamie County, recorded four videos of a naked prepubescent male child engaging in sexually explicit conduct which were taken at a hotel in Lake Delton at the end of January. Attention turned to Westbrook following the arrest of Preston Kite, a Racine County Sheriff’s Deputy who was arrested earlier this month on indecent exposure charges.
According to WITI-TV in Milwaukee, Kite is accused of messaging a man on an app, telling him to come into a Racine County truck stop bathroom. That man said that upon arrival, he found Kite in uniform in the bathroom exposing himself. The man reported the incident to authorities the same day, launching an investigation by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. A search of Kite’s phone revealed several sexually explicit videos which Kite said were sent to him by Westbrook, whom he called a friend. That deputy now faces charges of possession of child pornography, five counts of child sexual exploitation, lewd and lascivious behavior and disorderly conduct.
Westbrook stepped down from his position as Human Resources Director for the City of Sheboygan last August 30th, one week after complaints of inappropriate conduct towards an intern surfaced. City Attorney Charles Adams confirmed that he investigated, found no violation of City policy, and called Westbrook’s resignation “simply a resignation.”
