Former La Crosse doctor pleads guilty to child sexual assault

A former La Crosse pediatrician pleads guilty to two counts related to child sexual assault on Friday.

Joseph Poterucha pleaded guilty to felony second-degree sexual assault of a child, and a misdemeanor count of fourth-degree sexual assault.

The second fourth-degree sexual assault charge was dismissed but read in during Friday's hearing.

The sexual assaults were not related to his treatment of patients during his time as a doctor.

The judge ordered a pre-sentence investigation.

A sentencing is scheduled for July 31. Poterucha faces up to 40 years and nine months in prison.
