RHINELANDER - DNA evidence from a pair of sweatpants could link a Northwoods man to a violent sexual assault. Prosecutors offered up some of that evidence against Richard Loppnow in Oneida County court on Wednesday morning.
The victim accuses Loppnow, 38, of forcing her into several sexual activities twice on his property south of Eagle River back on October 28 and 29th of 2017.
The criminal complaint shows the first assault happened in a building on Loppnow's property. Testimony revealed claims that Loppnow held a gun to the victim's head.
"[Loppnow was] advising that she could either be humiliated or shot in the head," Oneida County Detective Sergeant Ryan Rossing testified. "She chose to be humiliated due to not wanting to be harmed."
After later moving to a mobile home trailer on the property, the victim claims Loppnow pointed a sawed-off shotgun or handgun to her head and gave her several options.

MERRILL - People keep asking Northwoods veterans officers the same question.
When will the new national cemetery near Rhinelander open?
At an information session in Merrill on Wednesday, the VA said design plans are about 35 percent done. But a John Knapp, a VA representative, couldn't give a timeline on when construction might start or finish.
He said it depends on the contractor, the weather, and approval from the VA.
