Two mugshots side by side under the heading "INVESTIGATION," labeled with the names Travis L. Huse and Scott L. Huse, related to a Langlade County church child sexual assault case.

A 67-year-old Wautoma man, Scott L. Huse, received an eight-month sentence already served after pleading no contest to third-degree sexual assault of a child tied to incidents at a Langlade County church. Numerous original charges were dismissed but read in, and he was ordered to pay court costs. His son, Travis L. Huse, previously received 15 years in prison for multiple assaults and enticement offenses connected to the same church. Eight women reported abuse spanning the 1990s through 2006, detailing assaults at school, youth group settings, and in vehicles.

Key takeaways:

  • Scott L. Huse, 67, pleaded no contest to third-degree sexual assault of a child; sentenced to eight months time served and court costs.
  • Original charges against Scott included child enticement and multiple first- and second-degree counts; dismissed but considered at sentencing and tied to a separate case.
  • Travis L. Huse, 47, was sentenced in June to 15 years in prison for multiple counts, including first-degree sexual assault of a child and child enticement; 19 additional felonies dismissed but considered.
  • Eight women reported abuse involving both men at Apostolic Worship Church/Apostolic Worship Center in Langlade County.
  • Allegations span the 1990s to 2006, including assaults during class by a teacher’s aide, in youth group contexts, and in secluded settings like cubby desks and vehicles.
  • Judge: Langlade County Circuit Judge John Rhode presided over Scott’s case.
