Rochester Man Accused Of Sexually and Physically Abusing Girl
Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A Rochester man has been charged with physically and sexually abusing a young girl.
One count of 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct has been filed against the 38-year-old man. He is also charged with malicious punishment of a child.
The man has been ordered to make his first court appearance next month.
According to the criminal complaint, the girl’s mother reported the alleged abuse in December. The mother told a police investigator her daughter had “disclosed that the man had been touching victim inappropriately.”

She said on one occasion, the man slammed her back against a wall with so much force it left a large hole in the drywall. She said another time he slapped her head, causing her to fall into a table.
The complaint says the man admitted to some of the physical abuse but “denied that he touched the victim sexually at any time. “
