According to the Wisconsin Statutes, you are considered a “domestic abuse repeater” if you commit a crime of domestic violence within 72 hours of being arrested for a separate domestic violence crime. If you commit a crime of domestic violence within ten years of being convicted of two other crimes of domestic violence, this also qualifies you as a “domestic abuse repeater”.
Aside from the exacerbated penalty severity that comes with qualifying as a “domestic abuse repeater”, any domestic crime conviction results in significant consequences. Avoid the hefty fines, time in jail and a tainted reputation that can result from a domestic violence conviction by contacting Wyosnick Legal, LLC.
