¶3 Attorney Evenson was admitted to the practice of law in Wisconsin in 2001. In 2011, he received a consensual public reprimand for violating SCR 20:8.4(b) and SCR 21.15(5), based on his conviction for two misdemeanor counts of battery and one felony count of substantial battery with intent to cause bodily harm and for his subsequent failure to provide timely written notice of the convictions to the clerk of this court and to the OLR. Public Reprimand of Jon Evenson, 2011-8. On June 3, 2014, his license to practice law was suspended for failure to comply with mandatory continuing education requirements. On October 31, 2014, he was suspended for nonpayment of State Bar dues and failure to file a trust account certification. His license remains suspended.

¶4 In the early morning hours of September 5, 2013, Attorney Evenson approached an obviously intoxicated 22-year- old woman, E.V., and her friend as they were getting into a cab outside a bar on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. E.V. agreed to leave with Attorney Evenson despite the cab driver's effort to dissuade her. Attorney Evenson took E.V. to his downtown Madison law firm, where he provided her "Molly" (commonly known as "ecstasy") and alcohol. They had sexual intercourse at the law office. Attorney Evenson then drove the woman to his home where they had more alcohol and again engaged in sexual intercourse. The next day, E.V. awoke bruised, unsure where she was, and had difficulty recalling what had happened. She notified the police.

¶5 Attorney Evenson was criminally charged and, pursuant to a plea arrangement, pled guilty to one count of delivery of a schedule I drug, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 961.41(1)(b) and 939.50(3)(h) (Class H Felony), and two counts of fourth degree sexual assault, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 940.225(3m) and 939.51(3)(a) (Class A Misdemeanors). He was sentenced to six years on count one (three-year prison term, with three years of extended supervision), and two consecutive nine-month jail terms on counts two and three. His sentence was stayed and the court imposed a three-year term of probation with conditions, including nine months in jail with Huber privileges.

As noted above, Attorney Evenson has stipulated to the facts and misconduct as alleged in the OLR's complaint. Attorney Evenson further stipulates that a 30-month suspension of his license to practice law in this state is an appropriate sanction for his misconduct.

¶7 The stipulation states that Attorney Evenson fully understands the misconduct allegations, his right to contest this matter, the ramifications of his entry into this stipulation, and his right to consult with counsel. The stipulation further provides that Attorney Evenson entered into the stipulation knowingly and voluntarily.

¶8 The OLR filed a memorandum in support of the stipulation citing several cases in support of its request for a 30- month suspension. The OLR noted in its memorandum that several aggravating factors were present in this case, including that Attorney Evenson's conduct involved the illicit use and delivery of a controlled substance; that he has been previously disciplined for assaultive conduct; and that his victim was much younger and intoxicated, rendering her vulnerable to his predatory advances. In mitigation of his misconduct, the OLR noted that Attorney Evenson cooperated in the disciplinary matter and admits that he has a substance abuse issue.

¶9 After our independent review of the matter, we accept the stipulation and determine that the seriousness of Attorney Evenson's misconduct warrants a 30-month suspension of his license to practice law. We note that we have previously imposed license suspensions of comparable length in cases where attorneys have been convicted of criminal offenses. See In re Disciplinary Proceedings Against Calhoun, 196 Wis. 2d 665, 538 N.W.2d 797 (1995) (three-year suspension for conduct that resulted in two convictions for possession and delivery of cocaine and for misrepresentations to the court). We determine that a 30-month suspension of Attorney Evenson's license to practice law should suffice to protect the public, the courts, and the legal system from repetition of the misconduct, will impress upon Attorney Evenson the seriousness of his misconduct, and will deter other attorneys from committing similar misconduct.

¶10 In light of the fact that Attorney Evenson entered into a comprehensive stipulation, thereby obviating the need for the appointment of a referee and for additional litigation costs, we agree with the OLR's request that the costs of this disciplinary proceeding not be assessed against Attorney Evenson. The OLR did not request and we do not impose restitution.

¶11 IT IS ORDERED that the license of Jon Evenson to practice law in Wisconsin is suspended for a period of 30 months, effective the date of this order.
