Minneapolis Sex Offenses Law Blog

A man was recently arrested at the Plymouth Park and Ride after police found him locked in a public restroom. Normally, a locked bathroom door would be nothing to get excited about, but in this instance the man was naked and allegedly did not confine the exposure to restroom. The man was charged with indecent exposure and could face a year in jail and up to a $3,000 fine, a maximum range increased due to prior convictions.

According to reports, a woman called the Plymouth Police from the parking structure on Jan. 13, 2012 to report that she had observed a man walking through the lot without his clothes at about 2:45 in the afternoon.

In our last blog post, we talked about the sexual assault allegations a 6-year-old boy was facing. The boy had been playing with other first-grade boys during recess, when, according to the allegations, the boy's hand touched another boy's upper thigh or groin.

It's unclear how the case progressed to the stage of sexual assault charges. There were no witnesses, and it's unclear whether anyone complained about the incident. Regardless, the boy was suspended from school because of the sexual assault allegations.

Do teenagers ever know what's happening with their hormones? One day, it seems as though girls and boys think the opposite sex has cooties. The next year, those same teens are chasing each other all over Minnesota with sexual aggression. However, because of maturity differences between genders, female teens are often attracted to men who are older than they are.

Few men are interested in turning down the advances of an attractive young woman. However, failing to do so could lead to criminal charges. Because of a situation like that, one man is facing an assortment of sex crime charges.

Addictions are serious. They're sad. They convey a person who is so attached to something that it becomes all-consuming. Research has shown that the brains of people who suffer from addictions are different than the brains of those who do not. Those people aren't weak; they are often genetically more prone to have addictive tendencies.

Unfortunately, people in St. Paul who have addictions often struggle with asking for the help they need. Sometimes, people who have addictions know they have problems, but they don't know how to change their lifestyle.

Recently, a man in that situation was arrested in a sex sting. His response? He thanked the police. The man was addicted to child porn, and getting arrested might be exactly what he needs to change his behavior.
