A 40-year-old Milwaukee man pleaded guilty last week to pimping at least a half dozen teenage girls in Wisconsin and other states, authorities said. He said he used his 20-year-old son to recruit the minors, have sex with them, teach them to avoid police officers and supply them with condoms. He would then take nude photos of them and post them to Craigslist, police said.

He faces at least 30 years in prison for the crime. His son faces 10 years in prison. He said he has been a pimp for 20 years. He started using his son to help recruit child prostitutes in early 2008. The two worked together to arrange dates for the minors, authorities said.

A 19-year-old woman left her fifth child, a day-old newborn, on the hood of a neighbor's car. She was sentenced Friday to 90 days in the House of Correction and four years' probation. She delivered the child in her bedroom and shortly afterward anonymously called the authorities, saying she left a baby on a neighbor's porch. The next day, however, she put the baby in a diaper bag and left her on the hood of a neighbor's car.

The prosecuting attorney acknowledged that she had led a chaotic life and had been subjected to abuse and assault, but also said she should have been familiar with the child welfare system as a result. The woman gave up parental rights to her other four children, but she's working through Children's Court to regain full custody of the child she left on the neighbor's car.

A 42-year-old former day care worker was sentenced Friday to a year in prison for breaking the arms of two children at a learning center in 2009. Once released from prison, she must remain under state supervision for another year. The two children both suffered spiral fractures in their arms, the result of severe twisting.

In one incident, she twisted the arms of a 4-month-old boy to make him stop crying. About a month later, she picked up a 22-month-old girl by the arms, reportedly to make her listen. She told police she wanted to send the girl a message of pain for refusing to wash her hands. She withdrew her guilty plea at an earlier hearing, then decided to leave her plea agreement intact.

A 33-year-old man driving the wrong way down a Milwaukee interstate ran head-on into another vehicle, seriously injuring two people. Police say he head-butted a deputy when confronted, later asking an officer if they could do drugs together. Court papers say his blood alcohol level was .276.

The driver was charged with battery to an officer and with two counts of injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle. This is his third OWI offense, the previous one only a month ago. He is being held on more than $75,000 bail.

New Land Enterprises, a Milwaukee developer, faces a foreclosure suit targeting three buildings.

The lawsuit claims that investors organized by Boris Gohkman and Walter Shuk defaulted on loans from a Madison-based bank. As of Jan. 22. the amount owed totaled $14.8 million, according to the suit, and public records show the combined assessed value of the properties is $9.8 million.

Gohkman was convicted for Medicaid fraud in 2004, and the firm has been sued for building defects multiple times, but that didn't slow down the company. This threat is a lot more serious, however, and could lead to the bank taking control of the three well-known properties.
