Prosecutors said Jung drove to Milwaukee to pick up three young family members on Feb. 15 and brought them to his home. On the first night, he allegedly got into bed with the nine-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her.
She outcried to her sister the day after, but the two couldn't reach their mother on the phone.
Jung allegedly assaulted the girl again on Feb. 17, then drove the children back to Milwaukee the next day, prosecutors said.
Jung did not admit to police that he raped the child, but said he sexually assaulted another young family member 22 years ago, when she was 10. He said he was never criminally charged in the case.
Judge Edward Harmening ordered that Jung stay away from anyone under 18, and asked him to surrender his guns, FOID and passport.
