The superintendent of a Wisconsin school district who personally searched female students for concealed vaping products has been charged with six counts of false imprisonment—a felony that can be punished with up to six years in prison and $10,000 for each count.
Oconto County District Attorney Edward Burke Jr. had previously declined to charge Superintendent Kelly Casper with conducting illegal strip searches, but reopened the case after widespread outrage over the incident.
Burke said yesterday that the circumstances of the searches support the new charges against Casper.
“The State concludes that Kelly Casper lacked legal authority to confine the students in a small restroom located off the nurses office located in the Suring School Public School complex,” Burke said in a news release. “The facts and surrounding circumstances lead the State to conclude that the children involved did not consent to being confined.”
