Man charged for having sex at State Fair
A Greenfield man has been charged with disorderly conduct after a woman videotaped him and a woman having sex at the Wisconsin State Fair coliseum during this year’s fair.
Robert Ray Beasley, 29, was charged Friday with misdemeanor disorderly conduct “while in a public place, did engage in indecent or otherwise disorderly conduct, under circumstances in which such conduct tended to cause a disturbance,” according to a criminal complaint filed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office.
If convicted, Beasley faces a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail, or both.
According to the complaint, State Fair police were alerted to the incident on Aug. 6 after a video of the couple having sex on the bleachers of the State Fair coliseum was posted on Facebook.
“The anonymous caller also identified the male in the video as ‘Bobby Beasley,’” the complaint said. “The caller stated she knew the defendant from his past occupation as a semiprofessional wrestler with a local Milwaukee wrestling group.”
Police contacted the owner of the wrestling group, who said he had seen the video and recognized Beasley.
The video was made by a woman at the fair about 11 p.m. Aug. 5, after she saw the couple having sex. The woman’s companion yelled at the couple and Beasley stood up and “appeared to be naked from the waist down,” the complaint said.
“The defendant then got dressed and starting yelling at the several individuals who were gathered around.”
The woman later positively identified a photo of Beasley as the man she saw in the incident.
During the initial investigation, Beasley and his companion were found at a West Allis tavern. They attempted to flee, but were found in the basement of the tavern and arrested, a State Fair press release said.
Beasley was initially booked on a potential charge of fornication in a public place and the woman was booked on potential charges of fornication in a public place and obstructing an officer for providing false information of her identity, the release said.
The woman who made the videotape also could face possible charges for posting the incident on social media.
