Jordan Coyle
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — A Portage County man accused of child sex crimes is now scheduled for trial in January.
Jordan Coyle faces first-degree child sexual assault and one felony count for interference with child custody after investigators say he took his girlfriend’s daughter as she was getting off the school bus in September 2025.
The incident sparked a two-day AMBER Alert. Coyle was the subject of an arrest warrant at the time after investigators learned he was violating the terms of his probation by living with the girl.
Officers found him and the girl in a wooded area. DNA evidence collected from her indicated recent sexual contact between the two.
A four-day trial begins January 19th. The case had been scheduled for trial in May and October. Both dates were pushed back for various reasons.
If found guilty on the sexual assault charge, he faces a mandatory life sentence due to his status as a repeat offender. No additional court dates have been scheduled before the trial.
The girl’s mother, Chelsea Lehmann, is serving prison time for harboring a felon. State prison records indicate she is being held at the Milwaukee Women’s Correctional Center and is scheduled for release in September 2027.
