MADISON, Wis. -- A state appeals court has tossed out sexual assault charges against three men who allegedly tried to dig up a woman's corpse in Grant County.
The Fourth District court said a judge was correct in dismissing the charges against twin brothers, Nicholas and Alexander Grunke, and Dustin Radke, all 21. The appeals court said the Legislature never criminalized sex with a corpse.
Authorities said the three men tried digging up the body of 20-year-old Laura Tennessen at a Cassville cemetery last September. She had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash and they saw her obituary photo.
The men began digging, but abandoned their plan and were eventually arrested after a vehicle drove into the cemetery and reported suspicious behavior, authorities said.
The men were charged with attempted sexual assault and attempted theft for trying to steal the body. Grant County Circuit Judge George Curry dismissed the sexual assault charges, saying no Wisconsin law addressed necrophilia. Prosecutors appealed his ruling.
