(Mike Leischner, WSAU) A Weston man accused of having inappropriate contact with children at a daycare facility will go to trial.

Shawn Wilde entered a not guilty plea to a dozen charges including five counts of first degree sexual assault involving someone under the age of 13. Wilde is accused of inappropriately touching and photographing the girls while telling them they were playing a "Game" that he had invented.

Additionally, one of the alleged victims said he would sometimes photograph them with props. A judge also bound him over for trial as part of Tuesday's hearing, further court action against him is pending. If found guilty he could face well over 140 years in prison.
