Home employee accused of sexually abusing a resident

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) – Charges were filed today against a woman accused of sexually assaulting a resident at a Fall Creek residential home where she worked.

Court documents dated September 12 show that Alicia Vogler, 29, of Elk Mound, Wisconsin, is charged with four counts of second-degree sexual assault, which will put her on lifetime probation as an aggravated sex offender.

The incidents occurred in June 2024 in Fall Creek and Augusta while Vogler was employed at the Palmer Place residential home at 306 South State Street in Fall Creek, Wisconsin. The victim was a resident of the residential home who was housed there under guardianship and conservatorship.

Court records show that a $50,000 signature bond was signed for Vogler.

Her court date is scheduled for October 22nd.

The criminal complaint states that the Fall Creek Police Department Chief of Police was contacted by the residence's owner on Tuesday, June 25. He told the chief that he had learned the week before that Vogler and one of the residents “had a sexual relationship both on and off the premises of the facility.”

Her employer and other coworkers noticed “odd behavior” between Vogler and the resident and that they were “getting very close.” Her employer asked the resident about it and he confirmed that he and Vogler were sexually involved. He showed her employer text messages between them that were “extremely sexual in nature.”

When her employer confronted her about it via text message, Vogler admitted that it happened to her once at work when she was accidentally high. She claims she bought a CBD vaporizer for body aches and didn't know it contained THC.

During that June 19 text exchange, she was told her employment with Palmer Place was terminated. Her employer said it had contacted the necessary state agencies about the incident. She had been employed at Palmer Place in Fall Creek for about a month and a half.

Before working for the Fall Creek facility, she worked for Palmer Place in Osseo. Her employer at the Fall Creek facility had learned that Vogler “began a relationship with a resident of that facility,” but “to his knowledge, the relationship was not sexual in nature, but the two became intimate.”

Because of this relationship, Vogler was transferred to the Fall Creek facility.
