Three 20-year-old men arrested at cemetery in attempt to have sex with deceased woman

Two Ridgeway, Wis., men and one Dodgeville, Wis., man were arrested Saturday in Cassville, Wis., for plotting to have sex with the corpse of a recently-deceased motorcycle accident victim. 

 

The three 20-year-olds were found digging in St. Charles cemetery at 11 p.m. According to the police report, Alex Grunke was ""perspiring profusely and appeared to be very nervous."" The man revealed that his twin brother, Nick Grunke, and Dustin Radke were attempting to unearth the body of a Cuba City, Wis., woman, interred the week before.  

 

The three revealed a plan to transport the body to Grunke's house, where they would have sex with it. They had purchased condoms.  

 

Bail has been set at $1,000 for Nick and Alex Grunke and $1,500 for Radke. The three could face over five years in prison if convicted.
