Cuba City Man Receives Sentence For Sex Crimes As Teenager

A Cuba City man was sentenced Wednesday to three years probation after pleading guilty to sex crimes. 26 year old Elmer Stoltzfus previously pleaded guilty in Lafayette County Circuit Court to four felonies: two counts of repeated sexual abuse of a child and two counts of another sex-related crime. As part of his sentence, Stoltzfus must register as a sex offender for life and participate in sex offender treatment. The crimes occurred in 2008 and 2009, when Stoltzfus was a juvenile. Investigators found out last year that Amish leaders had discovered Stoltzfus and two other church members had committed sexual abuse years earlier, most of which occurred when they were teenagers.
