BRAINERD, Minn. The case against a former Minnesota youth pastor accused of sexually assaulting a student at Lake Region Christian School in Baxter, Minn., more than 30 years ago has been dismissed.
Todd Travis Hogue, 60, was charged almost a year ago on Jan. 27, 2020, in Crow Wing County District Court on two felony counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
