-A Marshfield man was sentenced in Wood County Court on Tuesday for sexually assaulting his foster children.According to court records, John Hanley met with police and a social worker back in August. Hanley told them he had touched an 11-year-old while they were on the couch watching TV and he also touched a 2 and 4-year-old while they were in the shower. Hanley told authorities that he did it because he had been abused as a child and wanted to feel what it was like to be the aggressor.
Back in June, Hanley was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, two counts of third-degree sexual assault. He was sentenced to nine months in prison and six years’ probation.
