Panel recommends attorney lose license for at least 1 year

Schumacher served as Ogle County State’s Attorney from 1980 to 1992…. The panel found that Schumacher “engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct involving three different women” that “could not have been reasonably considered by him to be acceptable behavior under the ethical rules of our profession.”

In his defense, Schumacher also had some of the Rock River Valley’s legal elite stand in as character witnesses, including retired Appeals Court Judge Dan Doyle, Circuit Court Judge Joe McGraw and United Way CEO Paul Logli.
