RACINE, Wis. — Inside a Racine County courtroom Wednesday, a Kenosha County ambulance crew member maintained composure as jurors acquitted him of sexually assaulting a female seizure patient en route to a Racine hospital.

It wasn’t until he made his way outside the courtroom, to his wife and mother-in-law, that Capt. Jodin D. Froeber began to weep, saying the past two years have been “hell.”

“It’s just really annoying going through and being accused of something,” said Froeber, 38, of Somers. “I’ve lost everything: car, house, dog. I had to pay for attorneys. My whole thing coming into this, the whole time, was I didn’t do this. I know in my heart this didn’t take place.”
