Former Mishicot teacher Ryan Schroeder faces 2 federal charges of producing child porn
The indictment has been sealed to the public and no hearings are scheduled in his case yet. The charges were filed May 20.
Schroeder, 37, is already facing 19 felonies in Manitowoc County Circuit Court related to sexually assaulting a student at Mishicot High School while he was a teacher and coach.
According to the criminal complaint, law enforcement claims Schroeder admitted to sexually assaulting a student more than 50 times over a period of two years.
He was arrested April 16 after an investigation that started when Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office received reports of alleged inappropriate behavior with students.
Schroeder, the criminal complaint said, admitted to law enforcement he would bring his victim, who was 14 years old when the assaults started, to various locations throughout Manitowoc County, including Mishicot High School, where he would sexually assault them.

Schroeder has been charged with repeated sexual assault of same child, second-degree sexual assault of child, child enticement, sexual assault of student by school staff, two counts of child sexual exploitation, cause a child age 13-18 to view sexual activity, use a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, and 10 counts of possession of child pornography.
Multiple charges are Class C felonies, which carry a punishment of up to 40 years in state prison and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Michael Franti denies abuse allegations after Soulshine cruise canceled
Spearhead frontman Michael Franti has denied allegations of grooming and sexual abuse, but acknowledged a romantic relationship outside his marriage with an artist he worked with. The revelations coincided with the cancellation of his annual Soulshine at Sea concert cruise. 'I'm aware of the recent posts this artist made about our relationship, and while I support her need to express herself publicly, the relationship was completely consensual, based on mutual feelings and attraction,' Franti wrote in a statement on Sunday, Aug. 17. 'I vehemently dispute any version of the story that says otherwise.' The Oakland-born musician, a regular attraction at local festivals such as BottleRock Napa Valley and Stern Grove, added: 'I will, however, take full accountability for not better recognizing the power imbalance — as she was younger than me, and I was the headliner on tour. For those reasons alone, I never should have allowed the relationship to become romantic.' Franti's statement followed mounting scrutiny after singer-songwriter Victoria Canal alleged in an Instagram post that she had been groomed and sexually abused by a much older, 'very powerful' man in the music industry when she was 19. Canal did not name Franti, but she has previously credited him with discovering her on Instagram in 2018, when she was 19, and inviting her on tour. 'This is something I've never spoken about publicly, and have been holding for eight years now — it has plagued my body, spirit, and mind, in subliminal and overt ways, for my entire 20s,' Canal wrote on Aug. 11, her 27th birthday. She described the man as 'loving, charismatic, and principled' in public, but controlling and abusive in private. 'Behind closed doors, this person has a history of incredibly damaging behavior across the board, and has a team of enablers around him who have fiercely protected his image, perpetuating this behavior for decades,' she wrote. Canal also alleged that he touched and photographed her without consent. 'These behaviors progressed over a year, slowly keeping me more isolated in a highly unfamiliar and contained environment,' Canal wrote. 'At the time, this person made me believe that if I ever told anyone what he was doing, my career would be over before it started.' In the wake of Canal's disclosure, several artists — including ALO, Dispatch, Maggie Rose, Liz Vice and Tank and the Bangas — announced they would no longer participate in the Soulshine at Sea, citing 'deeply concerning allegations.' 'We are actively working to announce a new event that will sail November 4-8, 2025,' the company said, offering ticket holders refunds or future credits.
