MERRILL, WI (WSAU) — A 43-year-old Merrill man is in the Lincoln County Jail as deputies continue to investigate a complaint from the Internet Crimes against Children Task Force.
Deputies took Scott A. Schug into custody on Monday at his Town of Corning home. He’s been charged with felonies of repeated sexual assault of the same child, exposing genitals to a child, child enticement, use of a computer to facilitate a sex crime, and two counts of possession of child pornography.
The investigation revealed that the man developed a relationship with the child using social media and that resulted in crimes taking place in both Lincoln and Marathon Counties.
