Former UW student from Edina pleads guilty to five felonies in string of sex crimes

Former University of Wisconsin-Madison student Alec Cook pleaded guilty Wednesday to five felonies, including three counts of third-degree sexual assault, nearly bringing to a close a sprawling case that had been set for seven trials involving 11 alleged victims that were to have happened over the next several months.

Cook, who has spoken little in court during his numerous appearances since October 2016, when he was first charged, mostly answered yes and no to questions put to him by Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke, and said “guilty” when asked for his pleas to the five charges of which he is now convicted.
