The Real Impact of Wisconsinâs New Anti-Grooming Law
Former Kenosha teacher Christian Enwright, who sent hundreds of inappropriate Snapchat messages to a middle school student, was convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and has now been released early from custody.
At the time of the case, Wisconsin law did not include a specific felony offense for grooming a child. As a result, predatory conduct toward a minor could only be prosecuted under a lesser charge.
We represent the family of one of Enwrightâs victims, and our civil case remains ongoing as we pursue accountability for the harm caused.
We are disappointed to learn that Mr. Enwright has been released early. The harm caused to this child and her family is devastating and represents a serious breach of the trust families place in educators and schools. Our civil case will continue as we work to hold both Mr. Enwright and the school district fully accountable.
This is why we worked so hard to help pass Wisconsin Act 88. With this new law, sexual grooming of a child is now criminalized. Our effort reflects our broader mission to help make Wisconsin a safer place for children, and we will continue pursuing both civil justice and legislative reform.
