Milwaukee Attorney’s Sexual Assault Trial Delayed by Georgia Stalking Arrest

The trial for a 78-year-old Milwaukee attorney charged with sexual assault in Wisconsin has been delayed following his arrest on an aggravated stalking allegation in Georgia.

Robert Lee taylor had been scheduled to stand trial on August 11th. Now, the trial is moved to December 15th, almost three years from the date he was initially charged.

“It’s an unfortunate situation,” saeid Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Borowski at a hearing on August 6th.

Taylor,currently free on $10,000 bail,has been living at a house he owns in Savannah,Georgia,while the sexual assault case is pending.

He was arrested on July 20th on an allegation of aggravated stalking and is scheduled to appear in court on August 12th, according to Georgia public records.

mary Atkins, Taylor’s neighbor, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Taylor was arrested after violating a protection order she filed against him earlier this year.

Court records confirm a judge granted the protection order in March. The Chatham County Police Department denied a records request for reports related to Taylor’s recent arrest, citing the ongoing examination.

Atkins stated Taylor has repeatedly harassed her, beginning with an inappropriate touch in 2017 when she was dropping off a Christmas gift.
