Son of Packers coach charged with sexual assault

Updated: 2/26/2009 2:17:02 PM


GREEN BAY (AP) - An 18-year-old Green Bay man who is the son of Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin was charged Thursday with sexual assault and battery.

Michael T. Philbin pleaded not guilty in his initial appearance. He faces two counts of having sex with a child over the age of 16 and two counts of battery - all misdemeanors. Each count carries a maximum fine of $10,000 and nine months in jail, if convicted.

Philbin's lawyer did not immediately return a call or e-mail seeking comment.

The court clerk's office said a pretrial hearing is scheduled for March 13.

The criminal complaint alleges Philbin had nonconsensual sex with two females who said they were drunk at his Brown County home the night of Aug. 21.

The state Department of Justice is prosecuting the case following an investigation by the Green Bay Police Department.

Should these charges have been bought?

Philbin had nonconsensual sex with two females who said they were drunk at his Brown County home the night of Aug. 21.

Two of em?

They were so drunk they couldn't stop him, er what?

6 months ago?

This kid's life is half assed ruined. These prosecuters should have a conscience themselves.

Yeah, blame the prosecutor and the two girls.

I've been hearing more of these types of things lately. Much goes unreported. HGH, youporn and redbull & jager makes a bad combination I think.

You have a year in Illinois I think to turn a guy in. This happens, they collect evidence, some weeks later the girl comes to grips with what happens and files a complaint.

It always seems like a great idea at the time ...

Let me be the first to mention Mark Chmura.

agreed...much more difficult to overcome a rape charge than actually being raped

it was hard enough to get through your posts when I only thought of you as pretentious

Do those charges seem a little light to anyone else? Nonconcentual sex (rape) and battery (violence) of two minors?!

read Bedard's blog on JSO - has a few more details on the situation.

Philbin was 17 when it occurred. That might make a difference. Then again, I'm no lawyer.

The guy is fucking 17 going on 18 when this shit happened. Those 16 yr olds girls where all up on a Packer coach son drunk and wanna cry rape. Not saying it aint true but I have my doubts so lets stop the fucking outcry over some young "ladies" who had no prob getting all fucked up and heading off with some dude at night. If it aint true I hope them and the girls parents get charged with something.

He is likely not being charged as a minor you lame hippy POS.

The info that he was 17 at the time of the alleged incident was in Bedard's blog. Not sure the prosecutor released that information.
