Starting in September of 2010 the ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel''<ref>Daniel Bice, [http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/noquarter/103836734.html Investigations target Walker donor, aide], ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'', September 27, 2010.</ref> detailed an ongoing "John Doe" criminal investigation involving Scott Walker's former staff and associates. The wide-ranging investigation included allegations of campaign finance malfeasance, embezzlement of funds from a veteran's charity, bid-rigging and even child enticement. The investigation resulted in 15 felony indictments for six people who have been sentenced. John Doe investigations are secret proceedings, before a single judge, where witnesses can be subpoenaed and compelled to testify under oath about potential criminal matters, but are prohibited from speaking publicly about the case. The scope and targets of these investigations are unclear as a result of these gag rules.<ref name="MaryisWalkerJD">Mary Bottari, [http://www.prwatch.org/news/2011/09/11035/scott-walker-john-doe Is Scott Walker John Doe?], ''[http://prwatch.org PRWatch]'', September 21, 2011.</ref>
