Brookfield Banker Learns Teen Isn't Who He Thought

Waukesha County detective posing online as a teenage girl investigated a Milwaukee man who was sending sexual videos to the "girl" on multiple occasions, according to a criminal complaint.

A Milwaukee man, who works at a Brookfield bank, is accused of chatting with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl and masturbating on a webcam feed he sent to the girl.

Chad J. Jahn, 33, was charged Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with four counts of causing a child above age 13 to view/listen to sexual activity. If convicted, he faces up to 12 years initial confinement in prison and $40,000 in fines.

A Waukesha County detective started chatting with a person who’s screen name was “paparoachcjj79,” telling the person, who was later determined to be Jahn, that the deputy was a 15-year-old girl.

The deputy reminded Jahn on Nov. 26 when they chatted again that the “she” was 15 and in high school. Jahn told the deputy he was a banker in Brookfield and asked the girl if they would be able to “hang out,” the complaint states.

“So you don’t want to hang out with because of my age?” the deputy responded, the complaint states. “I didn’t say that,” Jahn replied.
