COURT WATCH

An arrest isn’t the end of the story.

We follow significant child-exploitation and sexual-abuse cases in Minnesota from charging through final disposition, using court records and official sources.

Charges are accusations. Every person listed here is presumed innocent unless and until convicted. Victims are never identified.

CASES WE’RE FOLLOWING

Olmsted County cases, most recent first

Filter by where each case stands. Every entry links to the original report; we confirm details against court records.

Sources we monitor: KROC News · Quick Country · Rochester Police news · Olmsted County Sheriff news · Minnesota Court Records Online

How we report

We rely on court records, official government information, and credible reporting. We clearly separate charges from convictions, and we update cases when charges are dismissed or a defendant is acquitted. Read our Editorial Standards
