SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Former Sheboygan Falls Assistant Fire Chief John Albright was sentenced to 13 years in prison Thursday for second-degree sexual assault of a child, bringing closure to a case that has shaken the community for nearly a year.

Judge Rebecca Persick handed down the sentence after Albright pleaded no contest in June to charges stemming from sexual contact with a young teen in 2008 or 2009 after a party at his house.

Albright had served in the volunteer fire service for almost 20 years and was also involved in refereeing youth sports and working with nonprofits before his arrest in September 2024.
