OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A doctor from Oconto Falls has been charged in a child sexual abuse investigation.
Dr. Isaias Cupino, 65, was arrested Tuesday night. According to the criminal complaint, police received a tip that child sexual abuse material had been uploaded to Facebook from a computer in Oconto Falls. A police detective recognized the doctor in the video and had reason to believe the child involved was in danger.
Police searched Cupino’s house and found more explicit videos depicting Cupino and the toddler, taken in Cupino’s home.
The complaint does not include a statement from Cupino.
Cupino is charged with one count of first-degree child sexual assault, sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography. If convicted on all counts, he could be sentenced to up to 68 years in prison.
Cupino is due to appear in court Friday afternoon.
Earlier this week, Prevea Health, Cupino’s employer, released this statement:
