You're going to have to give more info than that. In records alone, there isnt much access online for cases that started in the 70's and ended in the 1980's. There wasn't much around except for microfiche when this case was disposed of.





If you know which jurisdiction handled the case, you can file a FOIA request with the clerk of court. If they have to transcribe from microfiche,,,it could cost you hundreds of dollars for the case transcript. The Offense was recorded on 8/8/1974 and was disposed of in May of 1985. Thats eleven years of paper trails. Even large law research firms would not like that endeavor.





And since this was handled by an Administrative Consent Order...there is little more than a summary you will find anywhere online. And the case particulars might of have been sealed upon settlement, in which you have to wait for the apporpriate statute of limitations to file the FOIA request. Dont know off hand what nuber that is in wisconsin for a case of this nature. To my understanding this is a civil...not a criminal case.
