Trempealeau County man to be sentenced, faces 300 years in prison for 19 crimes

WHITEHALL, Wis. — A Trempealeau County man faces up to 300 years in prison for a variety of crimes, when he’s sentenced Friday.

Jeffrey Sanders of Blair, Wis., was convicted on 19 criminal charges during a summer trial.

Those convictions included sexual assault and physical abuse of a child, though he was acquitted of attempted murder.

Most of the charges against Sanders were filed after a 2015 incident, where he allegedly pushed a teenage boy off the deck of a house, causing a leg injury.
