Summary of the record

Rallund Lee Ottlinger pleaded guilty in Michigan to assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct in the second degree after absconding on bond for twelve years. In Wisconsin, he pleaded no contest to second-degree sexual assault as a habitual criminal and false imprisonment in connection with a 2006 offense against a Sheboygan woman. He served prison time in Michigan from 2000 to 2005 and was incarcerated in Wisconsin at Oshkosh Correctional Institution as of 2019, with parole ineligibility until 2026.

This record documents arrests, charges and convictions reported by courts, law enforcement agencies and news organizations. Every statement is tied to a cited source with an archived copy. A charge is an accusation, not proof of guilt; a person charged is presumed innocent unless convicted. Where a record says named by police, no charge was ever filed: the record rests on a law enforcement agency's public identification of the deceased person, cited below. Not guilty by reason of insanity means the court found the act proven but the person not criminally responsible. Solve the Case does not allege that this person committed any offense beyond what the cited records state, and this record is not a suggestion that the person is connected to any unsolved case.
