DARLINGTON — A Town of Belmont man with a previous conviction of child sexual assault faces new charges in Lafayette County alleging he repeatedly raped a preteen girl.

Casey G. Beyer, 33, is held on a $30,000 cash bond for charges filed Sept. 2 of first-degree child sex assault involving contact with a child younger than 13 and repeated sexual assault of the same child, both Class B felonies, and child enticement, a Class D felony.

The case stems from incidents beginning in June 2017 and continuing until a few weeks ago. The abuse was reported to Platteville police Aug. 29 and referred to the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office.

The girl told a detective Beyer had given her the Plan B emergency birth control pill on more than one occasion to prevent her from getting pregnant with his baby, according to the criminal complaint.

In the fall of 2019, when she was 13, she ordered a pregnancy test online because she was scared she was pregnant.

She said the coerced and forced sex made her feel “gross” and “horrible” but that Beyer told her not to tell anyone because she “would be to blame for him getting into trouble and she would never see him again.”

Detective Matthew Edge noted several times that she had tears in her eyes “and had to clear her throat as she spoke to me.”

Beyer was sentenced to probation in 2006 in Grant County after pleading no contest to second-degree sexual assault of a child. He was later sentenced to prison after his probation in the case was revoked.
