(WGTD)---A pair of troubling, unrelated sexual assault cases involving children were filed in Racine Court Tuesday.
57-year-old Michael Pipp was charged with 1st Degree Sexual Assault of a Child under the age of 13 and a second count of Child enticement. A bond was set at $20,000.
10 years ago, Pipp was a gym teacher at a school in Waterford that the criminal complaint identified as St. Thomas Day School.
Pipp allegedly had sexual contact with a then 1st grader in a storage room.
The girl kept quiet about it for years, making the disclosure only recently to a therapist.
Pipp was fired from the school in 2015 when a sexual assault case surfaced in Waukesha County for which Pipp served nearly 8 years in prison.
The complaint says the Waterford school reported the Waukesha incident back then in a letter sent home to parents.
In the second case, 52-year-old Larry Bergey of Racine was charged with having sexual contact with a child. A bond in that case was set at $50,000.
