James Scheinoha Charged with Sexual Assault of 6-year-old

A 28-year-old Manitowoc man is charged with sexual assault of a child after a 6-year-old girl on Tuesday told Manitowoc Police detective Erik Kowalski the man molested her while he was baby-sitting her, according to a Manitowoc police report.

James E. Scheinoha was jailed on the charge. Scheinoha told Kowalski several versions of the story until it matched the young girl’s story. Still, he denied sexually assaulting the girl, according to the report.

Scheinoha told Kowalski someone else the girl calls “Jim” assaulted the girl. He admitted to being an alcoholic and when sober he would never intend to sexually assault a child. His blood alcohol concentration was .32 percent during his interview with Kowalski, according to the report.

The girl told Kowalski the assault happened about one week ago. She told her father about the contact after she was “acting out,” according to the report.
