Green Bay board approves Leo Sanchez Basalto to reside at 961 address after review of convictions and treatment history

The Green Bay Offender Residency Board approved Leo Sanchez Basalto to reside at the requested address (recorded in the transcript variously as 961 Veil Avenue and referenced later as the approved ‘‘Belt’’ address) after a hearing that included the applicant’s account of his historic convictions, recent treatment for alcohol, and statements from his mother.

The board’s review considered Sanchez’s prior convictions, treatment history and periods of incarceration as part of its standard residency evaluation.

Sanchez told the board he previously was approved for other addresses and described a criminal case stemming from an incident in which he said he recorded and later was charged in connection with a child-related video and pled to first-degree sexual assault; Sanchez said he was sentenced to three years in prison, later served additional time totaling about eight years in custody, and has had supervision revocations for other offenses. Captain Oberman confirmed there was video and that the police complaint described the child as roughly 3 years old; Sanchez denied inappropriate touching and described his account to the board as washing the child.

Sanchez described completing alcohol- and drug-related treatment (AODA) most recently through Libertas and having done portions of sex-offender treatment (SOT) previously; he said provider changes interrupted SOT completion years earlier and that he does not have recent documentation of sexual-offender treatment in his packet. A board member said the lack of documentation was “a huge thing” to consider, but also noted Sanchez had been approved previously and several members said they were comfortable approving the address this time.

Sanchez told the board he plans to live alone, has recently been sober for nearly a year, and had been working in tax preparation and pursuing schooling in software engineering but paused studies for the summer to work and save money. Sanchez’s mother, Rosita Sanchez, spoke in his support, saying he finds work quickly, pays rent and is making changes.

After discussion, a board member moved to approve the address-specific request and a second was recorded. The motion passed with recorded “aye” votes and the board approved Sanchez to reside at the listed address; the board reminded him he must return if he later moves.

The board did not order additional treatment or impose extra conditions during the meeting; several members expressed concern about missing documentation but voted to approve the specific address.
