ANTIGO, WI (WSAU) — Officials in Langlade County say they have arrested two men in connection with a sexual assault investigation stemming from the Apostolic Worship Center and former Evergreen Christian Academy in Elton.
Travis Huse and his father Scott Huse were in court on Wednesday where they were both charged with dozens of counts. The 42-year-old Travis faces the most serious charge of first-degree sexual assault and child enticement. Scott, 64, faces counts of child sexual assault and child enticement.
Both are being held on bond and will return to court later this week. Travis’ bond is set at $1 million, Scott’s is $250,000.
Their arrest comes after Langlade County Officers put out a call last month for information about the pair, but didn’t specify why.

The two were involved in the Apostolic Worship Center and former Evergreen Christian Academy in Langlade County in the 1990s and early 2000s. They’ve also been involved in other Churches in other states, and are currently associated with Pathways Fellowship Church in Merrill.
The investigation has spanned at least four states outside of Wisconsin including Kentucky, New Hampshire, Maine, and Missouri. The Langlade County District Attorney’s office is handling the prosecution.
Investigators are still looking to talk to anyone who may have been a victim of the Huse’s in the past. If you have information, you’re asked to contact Detective Sergeant Justin Grones at 715-627-6419 or jgrones@co.langlade.wi.us.
