Jonathan Stolp
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — The former Weston man accused of playing a role in the death of a five-year-old girl who had just been adopted.
Jonathan Stolp was scheduled for a plea hearing today, but court records show that was canceled for a scheduling conference. A new date has been set for January 20th.
The 41-year-old is charged with counts of neglecting a child and chronic neglect of a child. He and 31-year-old Sumitra Stolp had been caring for the girl for several months before formally adopting her in the summer of 2021. Shortly after she was adopted she was hospitalized with severe injuries that required her to be placed in a medically-induced coma. She died several days later.
Sumitra Stolp told several different stories regarding the child’s injuries, none of which aligned with the injuries doctors were treating.

The Everest Metro PD opened an investigation into the death in late August 2021. The couple made their first court appearance in connection with the case a few days later.
Sumitra Stolp is scheduled to make a court appearance on November 16th for charges including first-degree reckless homicide, child neglect, and obstructing an officer.
