That investigation, according to the release, determined Chase Schroeder, 27, made contact with the child via social media and arranged for a rideshare service to bring the child to Sun Prairie.

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry lists his current address as the Marquette County Jail in Montello, Wisconsin, and says he was convicted in 2019 in Texas of “possession of visual depictions of sexual activities by minors.”

In the new case, he was referred for charges of sexual assault of a child under 12, sexual exploitation of a child, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, child enticement and possession of child sexual assault materials, according to authorities.
