In Wisconsin, a crime of domestic abuse is committed when pain, injury or fear is inflicted, or when sexual assault occurs. Under Wisconsin law, you are considered a repeat domestic abuser if you commit another act of domestic abuse within 72 hours of being arrested for an act of domestic abuse. Another instance that constitutes someone as a domestic abuse repeater is if they have previously committed two crimes of domestic abuse where the domestic violence fee was imposed within the past 10 years.
