ANTIGO — Logan Green, a local man accused of 15 relatively serious criminal counts including 3rd degree sexual assault, threatening to communicate derogatory information, and stalking, appeared via Zoom Thursday morning at the Langlade County Courthouse and briefly discussed a document he filed in support of an earlier motion he had made to dismiss the case.
The thrust of the 38-page document Green filed, District Attorney Kelly Hays said at the hearing, was that he believed charges against him should be dismissed because he had been denied his right to counsel.
Judge John Rhode said Green indeed has experienced difficulties finding legal representation.
“The public defender’s office filed another written status counsel report yesterday saying they’d made over 4,000 attempts to find Mr. Green an attorney,” Rhode said. “I still don’t know for sure what that means — I’ve never had it explained to me — but my understanding is that each email they send out is an attempt and they send out a mass email. Let’s say it was to 200 attorneys and they send that email out five times. That counts as 1,000 attempts to find him an attorney. I don’t know for sure that’s how it works, but they’re saying they still can’t find Mr. Green an attorney.”
The charges against Green stem from a complaint made to the Langlade County Sheriff’s Office in August 2023, when a local woman stated that her daughter, a minor who was dating Green, was receiving death threats over Snapchat from him.
Abuse Green perpetrated against the victim began in June 2023, according to the complaint. He apparently manipulated the victim, threatening to get her brother thrown into jail, as well as followed behind her as she drove around with friends and bullied her for sex.
His abuse substantially escalated July 13 when, while driving from his mother’s house in Pelican Lake back to her Town of Antigo home, the defendant suddenly threw her out his door while the vehicle was moving. She ran away, but the defendant caught her and forced her back into the vehicle.
In later incidents, the victim said Green choked her after she changed the song on the radio, broke into her house, and threatened to burn her house down, rape her, and kill a man who was living in her house at the time.
Green’s next appearance is scheduled for May 30 at 1:30 p.m.
