A 38-year-old Richmond, Illinois man already facing domestic abuse-related charges is now accused of trying to pressure a Twin Lakes woman into dropping her cooperation with prosecutors, racking up three new felonies and a $15,000 arrest warrant in the process. Julius A. Mosansky was arrested on a $15,000 warrant.
The new criminal complaint, filed October 29, charges Mosansky with one count of felony intimidation of a victim and two counts of felony bail jumping, according to Kenosha County Eye. Prosecutors allege Mosansky violated two conditions of his cash bail: a no-contact order protecting the woman and a requirement that he commit no new crimes while his earlier case was pending.
Court records cited by the outlet show the new felony charges include domestic abuse repeater enhancers, which could increase penalties if Mosansky is convicted. Mosansky was arrested on a $15,000 warrant.
Wisconsin’s victim-intimidation law covers knowingly and maliciously trying to dissuade a crime victim from helping prosecute a case; the law also distinguishes misdemeanor conduct from felony circumstances. The allegations here—that Mosansky urged the woman not to appear and allegedly waited outside court—concern the kind of effort to interfere with a prosecution addressed by the statute, though the charges remain allegations. Wisconsin’s jury instruction on victim intimidation describes the state’s burden of proving the required conduct and intent.
Alleged Effort to Influence the Victim
The case centers on allegations that Mosansky tried to pressure the woman to drop her cooperation with prosecutors.
Mosansky is accused of trying to pressure the woman to drop her cooperation with prosecutors.
Investigators also allege Mosansky waited outside court proceedings in an effort to discourage the woman from entering the courtroom.
The two bail-jumping counts are separate from the intimidation charge: Wisconsin law makes it a crime to intentionally violate a condition of release on bond. When the underlying case involves a felony, the statute classifies bail jumping as a Class H felony. In Mosansky’s case, the complaint alleges two distinct violations—contacting the protected woman and committing a new crime—while he was released in a pending felony case. Wisconsin’s bail-jumping statute sets out the offense and its felony classification.
Earlier Domestic Abuse Allegations
The new allegations come amid Mosansky's domestic abuse-related history.
The domestic abuse repeater enhancers attached to the new charges could increase potential penalties if Mosansky is convicted.
The domestic-abuse-repeater allegations do not themselves establish that the enhanced penalties will apply. Wisconsin law permits an increase of up to two years in the maximum imprisonment term when a person commits a crime that constitutes domestic abuse and qualifies as a repeater; the statute defines qualifying repeaters in part by prior convictions on separate occasions within the preceding 10 years. The state must establish the statutory requirements, or the defendant must admit them, before the enhancer can be applied. Wisconsin’s domestic-abuse-repeater statute specifies those conditions.
Court Rejects Bid to Seal Case Records
Court records show a motion to seal a document was filed when the new case was initiated, but on November 4 the court rejected that proposed sealing order. The court found it violated a standing order issued August 21, 2025, and misrepresented the status of a filed document — the court's written explanation described the motion as “frivolous and denied.”
Mosansky was scheduled to appear before Commissioner Daniel Kellum at 1 p.m. Friday for his initial appearance in Kenosha County. As of the outlet's report, the court record did not yet reflect a new bail determination or hearing outcome.
Mosansky's case is one of several recent Kenosha County matters involving bail violations tied to underlying abuse or assault allegations. In a separate case this same Friday, 28-year-old Dmitry V. Zellmer of Union Grove appeared in Kenosha County Intake Court on three new charges while already out on bail for sexual assault; a commissioner set his cash bail at just $500, the outlet reported.
