A 41-year-old illegal immigrant was charged Tuesday for allegedly having sexual contact with an 8-year-old boy at a home on the city's south side, according to a criminal complaint.


The incident was reported by the boy's mother about 3:45 a.m. Saturday, soon after the assault is believed to have taken place, officials said.


Jose Carman Gonzalez-Ricardo, for whom no permanent address is listed, faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of first-degree sexual assault.


According to police and the complaint:


Gonzalez-Ricardo came into the boy's bedroom and touched him inappropriately, and also forced the boy to touch him. Gonzalez-Ricardo did not pursue further contact after the boy told him to stop.


The complaint describes Gonzalez-Ricardo as a friend of the victim's family, and police said he had been living in Sheboygan about six months.
