Another man recently took a plea deal after authorities arrested four men in all who are accused of sending explicit messages to and arranging a sexual encounter with an undercover officer posing online as a minor. 53 year old Johnny Brandt of Cuba City recently was sentenced to two years of probation in Jo Daviess County Circuit Court after pleading guilty to one count of indecent solicitation of a child. As part of a plea deal, a second count of indecent solicitation of a child and one count each of unlawful grooming and traveling to meet a minor were dismissed. 50 year old Matthew Colson of Cuba City, and 65 year old William Schleuning of Hanover both still face charges of two counts of indecent solicitation of a child and one count each of unlawful grooming and traveling to meet a minor. 24 year old Christian Dalinoc of Galena previously pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful grooming as a result of the same sting operation.
