POLK COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – A Crookston man arrested in October for allegedly raping an intoxicated woman is now facing two additional, related felony charges.
Susano Isaiah Padilla, 21, was initially charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. An amended criminal complaint, filed Tuesday, July 2, added one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for penetration, causing injury and using force, and third-degree criminal sexual conduct for penetration, causing injury and using force.
The incident was reported by the alleged victim’s roommate at 1:18 a.m. on Oct. 3, according to a probable cause statement filed in the case. The woman had gone to the emergency room for an evaluation. Later that day, law enforcement reviewed the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) examination. The report noted bruising on the woman’s neck and breast, abrasions on her back, and injuries on her genitals.
She told law enforcement she remembered Padilla hitting her on the back and being thrown around. “She couldn’t do anything; she couldn’t control anything; she had way too much to drink,” the statement said.
Padilla is scheduled for a first appearance for the added charges at 9 a.m. on July 11.
