A La Crosse man faces decades of prison time, if he’s found guilty of sexually assaulting young children.

The female victim, who is under 16, says Schieffer assaulted her a few years ago, and then again last month, over Easter weekend.

Schieffer is registered in La Crosse County as a sex offender.
