Trump was right. Now every state is a border state. Do these minors even live with parents?
Oscar Ernesto Luna, 22, is in the Beltrami County Jail on one count of 1st degree Criminal Sexual Conduct. If convicted of the crime, he faces up to 30 years in prison.
Court documents say Bemidji Police were called to the Sanford Bemidji Emergency Department around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023 for a report of sexual assault of a minor.
Documents say the victim was an 11-year-old girl who told investigators she had been sexually assaulted at a Bemidji home. The victim told investigators she was with a woman, who was drunk and wanted to go to a party.
The victim said they got into a man’s car, they put a bag over her head and drove to a home. Bemidji Police later determined the sexual assault happened at 1821 America Court NW in Bemidji.
Court records say at the home, the woman forced the 11-year-old to drink alcohol. They say the victim was then tied up in a room, with two other young girls tied up on either side of her. The victim says there were four men present, who took turns raping the girls.
Documents say later, one of the girls who was raped was in a closet, while the other was bloody and unconscious. One of the girls helped untie the victim, allowing her to escape. The victim says a man grabbed the other girl and threw her down the stairs.
Later that week, law enforcement executed a search warrant at 1821 America Court NW in Bemidji and identified Luna as a suspect. Court documents say a search warrant there turned up evidence of sexual assault.
Luna denied sexually assaulting the victim. His criminal history shows active warrants for his arrest. His first court appearance was Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023 in Beltrami County District Court.
Valley News Live reached out to the Bemidji Police Department on Tuesday, September 26, after witnesses say the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) was spotted at a home in Bemidji.
Bemidji Police Chief Mike Mastin tells Valley News Live no other arrests have been made in this case. When asked about whether or not they are looking for more suspects, or have identified the other young victims in the alleged gang rape, Mastin says they are unable to comment because of the active investigation.
Bemidji Police say there were several other individuals located and identified at 1821 America Court NW, eleven of which were transported by U.S. Border Patrol to be processed as illegal immigrants.
