Former U.P. school resource officer gets near-max sentence in 2nd child sex crime conviction
Former Menominee sheriff’s deputy and school resource officer Brian Helfert will serve a minimum of nine years in prison for his second conviction for sex crimes against a student.
“It’s always difficult as a judge to have to pass sentence on an individual,” said 41st Circuit Court Judge Mary Barglind. “Particularly so when you have someone who has spent many years wearing the badge. But in this case, Mr. Helfert, that badge was woefully betrayed.”
