To convict him you would need personal jurisdiction. If he doesn't live here (and never did) then Wisconsin doesn't have personal jurisdiction. You need to contact the police in the place where he lives or committed the act.

You can file for divorce but I can not predict the outcome without a lot more information to do so.

I suggest you contact local counsel for a free consultation.
