Christian Laes, 19, is in jail today because he wouldn't follow a judge's order to stay away from his younger girlfriend, just like his grandfather did in 1970.
Dean Teska made headlines in Milwaukee when, on probation for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, he married his girlfriend when she turned 18. He was 20. The union withstood Teska's brief stay in jail, produced four children and lasted until Teska's death in 1982.
But 2011 legal and moral realities could dictate a harsher outcome for Laes and his romance.
Laes, of Sturgeon Bay, has been jailed in Door County since Sept. 13, a day after he got together with his girlfriend, Crystal Muraski, 17. He wasn't supposed to communicate with her at all because they had touched each other sexually early last year, when she was 15 and he was 18.
That was in March 2010. She told some friends, who told a teacher, who told police, who told prosecutors. They charged Laes with sexual assault of a child that summer.
The state offered a deferred prosecution agreement on the felony. Laes pleaded no contest in December to third- and fourth-degree sexual assault, both misdemeanors, was found guilty and was sentenced to probation with a list of conditions, including get counseling, write an essay on appropriate sexual behavior, stay in school and get a job. If he could meet them all over a three-year period, his felony case would be dismissed.
The toughest condition was no contact with Muraski - no visits, phone calls, Facebook messages, letters, emails, texts or notes through go-betweens.
In September, they met up anyway. The next day, he landed in jail.
