A Milwaukee woman is accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old child while serving as a swim instructor in Glendale. The alleged incident happened in November 2018, and prosecutors said police in Madison took a similar report regarding this swim instructor. Additionally, she faced sexual assault charged in January out of Milwaukee County — which were ultimately dismissed by prosecutors.
Brianne Taylor, 35, faces two counts, filed on April 4:
- First degree child sexual assault — sexual contact with a person under the age of 13
- Resisting or obstructing an officer.
According to a criminal complaint, police on Nov. 28, 2018 responded to
Elite Sports Club-River Glen where Taylor worked as a swim instructor. They learned a 4-year-old girl had told her mother Taylor had “tickled her private part under her swim suit during swim lessons.” During a forensic interview, the girl told investigators, “Bri didn’t want people to know about the touching.”
While reviewing Taylor’s background, investigators found a report from Madison police, and learned Taylor was accused of touching a student under their swim suit during swim lessons.
The complaint said investigators also learned Taylor “has lost jobs because of boundary issues with regard to personal space.”
Taylor was interviewed, and the complaint said she was asked about her previous employment. According to the complaint, Taylor lied about ever being fired or disciplined for inappropriate touching.
