A man accused of 21 sexual assaults in Madison is asking the court for a change of venue. Attorneys for Alec Cook also want the prosecution not to be allowed to use Cook’s diary at his trial. Police say the leather-bound journal lists the names of women and what he wanted to do to them. Cook made an appearance in Dane County court Thursday. His attorneys say news coverage of the case in Dane County has tainted the potential jury pool. They also say the consent form police were using to search Cook’s home didn’t reasonably include a search of the diary’s contents. The motions were taken under advisement.
