STEVENS POINT—Steven Lorang, 57, has pleaded not guilty in connection to a sexual assault case stemming from his time as a boy scout volunteer for a Stevens Point troop.
Lorang faces ten felony charges, including five counts of second degree sexual assault of a child, four counts of child enticement/sexual contact, and one count of first degree sexual assault of a child with use of threat, force, or violence.
The Plover Police Department received information in July 2026 regarding accusations that Lorang groomed and sexually assaulted an individual fifteen years ago. Following the tip, detectives met with other potential victims.
According to a press release, during an Aug. 31 interview with police, Lorang admitted to engaging in grooming and sexual activity with a juvenile who he had met through his affiliation with Boy Scout Pack 297 based in Stevens Point.
Lorang was originally given a $250,000 cash bond, however, on Sept. 10 his bond was doubled to a $500,000 cash bond.
Lorang is expected back in Portage County court on Oct. 19.
