Former Milwaukee counselor’s trial supposed to begin Monday

Milwaukee counselor’s trial set to begin Monday

Former counselor George Ramsey’s trial is set to begin Monday but could be delayed another time due to scheduling.

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office charged George Ramsey back in March 2021.

Since then, a litany of issues has kept the case from a jury. It could happen again on Monday based on priority scheduling.

Ramsey was a pastor to grieving families, a licensed professional counselor and a clinical substance abuse counselor until March 2021.

Prosecutors charged Ramsey with three counts of sexual exploitation by a therapist.

The criminal complaint said the now 63-year-old made sexual advances on three female clients and showed one of the women a gun.

They accuse him of hugging them after sessions, unzipping their clothing, groping and even forcing them to perform sexual acts on him, all while he worked as a counselor at two different locations.

Charges are pending review by the district attorney’s office.

FOX6 investigator Bryan Polcyn reported on Ramsey’s controversial past in March 2022 when his trial had already been delayed once after Ramsey changed his attorney four days before his first date.

The delays kept coming.

An essential witness wasn’t subpoenaed before the second date and the judge was out sick on the third try. Ramsey received treatment for a medical issue on the fourth date.

A judge said a fifth delay could happen Monday because a different sexual assault case on the calendar has higher priority due to the defendant’s demand for a speedy trial.

Monday’s hearing is set for 9 a.m.

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party

SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.

Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.

Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.

“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.

“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.

“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.

During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.

Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.

While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.

“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.

“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
