Man who identifies as female charged with sex crime at facility for women where he also lived
Madison E. Robison was charged on July 10 with second-degree sexual assault of a person with a mental illness and is being held in the county jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
According to a criminal complaint, Robison identifies as a female but is a biological male who is listed as such on government records. The complaint refers to Robison as a man.
On July 4, Ozaukee County sheriff’s deputy Kendra Carter was called to 33 Fields, a group home for women on Highway 33 where Robison lived with women with mental disabilities, to investigate a report from a citizen that Robison posted a video online that referenced sexual activity and had taken advantage of a resident of the facility, the complaint states.
Carter interviewed a resident of the home who is under protective guardianship and diagnosed with cognitive developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Staff members said she has the mental capacity of a person who is 6 or 7 years old and produced documentation that shows the woman is classified as a vulnerable adult who “may not understand a potential threat from others,” according to the complaint.
When questioned by Carter, the woman repeatedly denied having sex with Robison, who she referred to as a woman, but said, “I don’t like Madison bullying me,” the complaint states.
When Carter asked the woman if she knows what sex is, she replied, “It’s like when you have sex with someone and they want to, like, hurt, kind of want to hurt you.” She also said, “Sex is they say I love you. They want to be like a friend,” according to the complaint.
The woman said that although Robison has long hair like a woman she knows he has male anatomy. When asked by Carter if Robison had intercourse with her, the woman began to cry and said, “I mean, like, it was only one time. I mean that’s it,” the complaint states.
Carter than asked the woman if she wanted to have sex with Robison and she said, “No, I mean I told Madison to stop doing that because ... she was doing it hard on me. I told Madison to stop, but Madison wouldn’t stop,” adding that the incident occurred in Robison’s room in the basement of the group home, according to the complaint.
The woman said she is scared of Robison and had been staying in her room to avoid him. A group home staff member confirmed this and said Robison arrived at the group home on March 11. The complaint alleges the sexual assault occurred between March and July.
Carter talked to another woman at the group home who is under a protective guardianship and diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, has intellectual disabilities and suffers from selective mutism due to anxiety. She is at risk for self-harm and is not allowed to be in the group home without a staff member present.
This woman told the deputy that she and Robison had sexual intercourse in the basement of the group home but it was consensual, the complaint states.
She said, “We had sex. Then he said that it was both consensual. We both agreed to this. There’s nothing wrong,” according to the complaint.
The woman said Robison asked her if she fantasizes about him and told her he loved her. She said Robison also talked about wanting to have sex with the woman he is accused of assaulting, the complaint states.
Robison admitted to having sex with the woman who said it was consensual and told Carter, “Me and a housemate, we consented on it. I don’t know who would say it was assault, but it was basically consent,” according to the complaint.
