The three men arrested for allegedly digging up the grave of a woman who died last week in Grant County are also charged with attempted sexual assault.
The three men appeared in Grant County Circuit Court on Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, the three men were charged with digging up the grave at the St. Charles Catholic Cemetery in Cassville with the intent to have sex with the victim's body, WISC-TV reported.
Alexander Grunke, his twin brother Nicholas Grunke and their friend Dustin Radke -- all 20 years old -- have been in a Grant County jail since Saturday.
The grave that the men are accused of trying to dig up belonged to Laura Tennessen, 20, of Cassville, who was buried last week after being killed in a motorcycle crash on Aug. 28.
The men were formally charged with attempted theft and attempted third degree sexual assault.
Radke allegedly confessed and said that the incident was an elaborate plan to have sex with the corpse. He told authorities that Nicholas Grunke asked him to help dig up Tennessen's grave and take the corpse back to a pre-selected location behind his house with the intent to have sex with her, WISC-TV reported.
Authorities said that Radke said that the three stopped at the Wal-Mart in Dodgeville on their way to the cemetery and bought condoms.
If the three men are convicted, they could face more than five years behind bars for both the misdemeanor theft and the attempted sexual assault, which is a felony, WISC-TV reported.
The bail for Radke was set at $1,500. For both Nicholas and Alexander Grumke, bail was set at $1,000.
They don't look 20 to me, unless we're talking IQ.
Can you be charged with rape of an inanimate object?

Are we going to find out these are Goths, or other dark siders?
Unless the man supports abortion legislation and then it's all good even if he tells an assaulted woman, "better put some ice on that".
Very true. But for the rest of us, when a dead woman says no, that means no.
They just should be killed, simple.
How about when scientists and historians exhume old bodies? And put them on display in museums for money?
I'm thinking that cremation is the only way to prevent tampering with a corpse.
There are certain actions by which a person announces that they no longer wish to be a part of society.
We should honor their wishes.
Such are the fruits of "secular humanism", evolutionism and the like; no meaningful basis for morality.
You have to wonder what in the heck possessed them. But possessed may explain it.
Thinking back to 20 we did some crazy things. But if one of my friends had suggested this kind of thing...
How would that converstion go.
#1: 'What are we going to do tonight guys? I hear there's a kegger at Suzies house.'
#2: 'Suzie can suck a golfball through a garden hose. Lets go.'
#3: 'Naw. Lets dig up a nice fresh body and get us our grey wings'
#1 and #2: WTF? Do we know you?
Was that in reply to #28?
