Waukesha man accused of drugging pre-teen girls appears in court

Posted

A Waukesha man is charged in a horrific case of sexual assault against children, including girls as young as 12 being drugged.

Based on statements from the criminal complaint, 57-year-old Patrick Dunn advertised as a photographer and allegedly had inappropriate relationships with minors.

Dunn is facing time behind bars. He charged is being charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, and had his court appearance a Friday afternoon.

Waukesha police raided his home Wednesday days ago where they found 2,000 plus images and photos.

The criminal complaint says Dunn gave young girls weed, and he would often take girls shopping for "provocative clothing."

Jackie Tyler, Dunn's neighbor, showed up to court Friday and said her 11-year-old daughter spent lots of time with him and now she knows her daughter was in danger.

“I feel guilty that I didn’t protect my kid, that I didn’t know. Don’t put your trust in anybody. Nobody. I learned a really hard lesson,” Tyler said.

Dunn’s bond was set at $75,000 and police obtained his cell phone records. Authorities believe there are other potential victims out there and they would like people to come forward.
