David Prosser: the “soft on pedophiles” candidate

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has taken to the radio airwaves in an ad supporting Justice David Prosser for reelection to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and in the ad Clarke claims Prosser is tough on crime.

However, Clarke conveniently forgot to mention Prosser took it easy on a pedophile priest when Prosser was Outagamie County District Attorney:

In 1979, then Outagamie County District Attorney David Prosser told a mother he did not want to prosecute a Green Bay priest who had abused her sons because “it would be too hard on the boys,” newly released documents indicate.

The priest, John Patrick Feeney, who is now 81, went on to abuse other children before he was sent to jail in 2004.
