A former Weyauwega area man with a history of molesting horses, will stand trial in December in Manitowoc County on similar charges.  54 year old Sterling Rachwal was in court Wednesday, where he entered not guilty pleas to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and intentionally mistreating an animal.  The complaint says investigators tracked Rachwal to a horse barn in Maribel earlier this spring.  He is also awaiting a pre-trial conference on a similar charge in Brown County.
