STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — A former Stevens Point EMT will face trial for five counts of sexual assault, three of which are felonies.
Court records indicate Mark Schoberle will have a three-day trial covering two open cases next June. The 51-year-old was working as a patient transporter for Aspirus Health when he was accused of making lewd comments towards multiple patients who were receiving treatment. He’s also accused of touching them inappropriately. Those accusations led to felony charges, which could land him in prison for more than 100 years.
A pair of misdemeanor fourth-degree sexual assault charges have also been filed against him in a separate case.

Schoberle remains jailed on a $50,000 cash bond, which includes a full no-contact order with the victims and Aspirus Health. Further court action is scheduled for March 13th and May 20th.
Aspirus terminated Schoberle shortly after the accusations came to light, saying “In the interest of patient and employee safety, the involved individual was immediately removed from all employment duties. Law enforcement was promptly informed, and we are cooperating fully. Because of the ongoing investigation, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time. The individual is no longer employed with Aspirus.”
