A former Rice Lake man has been ordered held in custody indefinitely as a sexually violent person.
Twenty-one-year-old Eric Fankhauser had been due for release March 1 after serving three years in prison for second-degree sexual assault of a 6-year-old boy, but the State Attorney General's Office filed a commitment petition against him.
Barron County Circuit Judge Edward Brunner ruled this week that Fankhauser be held in a detention facility until he is no longer deemed sexually violent.
A psychologist's report indicates Fankhauser suffers from the mental disease of Pedophilia, which causes him to be attracted to children.
