Wisconsin Baptist Pastor Arrested On Child Sex Charges

The former pastor of a West Side church was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child for alleged incidents about four years ago in which a girl who was then about 10 said he touched her improperly during a day camp that was held at the church.

Robert C. Stine, 60, of Middleton, who was pastor at Midvale Baptist Church, 821 S. Midvale Blvd., is scheduled to appear in Dane County Circuit Court on Aug. 24. His attorney, Chris Van Wagner, said Thursday that Stine “looks forward to the opportunity to clear his name, and denies that he did anything wrong.”

State regulators revoked the license of the daycare, called Kid’s Best Child Care, on June 30, after the girl’s mother reported the alleged abuse to police on April 21, according to a criminal complaint.

Religion News Service reports:

The Rev. Bob Stine, former president of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention, will be required to answer questions in court in September. According to his bio on Midvale’s website, Stine is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has been pastor since 2007.
