NEENAH, Wis. (WFRV) – Neenah City Attorney David Rashid has been placed on administrative leave after a criminal complaint was filed against him, charging Rashid with three counts of sexual assault.

Neenah Mayor Jane Lang released a statement on Wednesday, saying Rashid “has been placed on administrative leave pending a full review of the facts of this case” after the City of Neenah was made aware of the criminal complaint filed against Rashid.

The complaint was filed on April 30.

Court records show that Rashid has been charged with the following:

  • 2 counts of 3rd Degree Sexual Assault

    • Felony G

    • Up to 10 years in state prison, a maximum $25,000 fine, or both

  • 4th Degree Sexual Assault

    • Misdemeanor A

    • Maximum penalty of 9 months in jail, a $10,000 fine, or both

All charges come with a Domestic Abuse Assessment modifier.

“As this is an open investigation, it would be inappropriate for the City of Neenah to provide further comment at this time,” Mayor Lang stated.
