Fergus Falls Jail Holds Man on Sex Charge
OTTER TAIL COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — Cory Patrick John Hogan, 38, remains held at the Otter Tail County Jail in Fergus Falls.
The county’s June 19 custody roster lists Hogan as an active inmate. The roster says he was booked on April 16, 2026.
His booking number is 002600000341. The roster lists one active felony charge against him.
Third-Degree Sexual Conduct Charge
The charge is third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving alleged penetration. The roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.344, subdivision 1(b).
That law applies when an accused person allegedly knew about a complainant’s impaired or helpless condition.
The statute uses three terms for that condition. They are mentally impaired, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless.
Readers can review the Minnesota statute through the Revisor of Statutes.
Bond Details
The jail roster lists a $50,000 bond without conditions. It also lists conditional amounts of $25,000 and $2,500.
The public roster does not explain how each conditional amount must be posted. Bond details may change after a court hearing.
A judge may also change release conditions. Updated information should be checked through official court and jail records.
Public Records and Case Status
The jail entry does not provide a complete account of the alleged incident. It also does not determine guilt.
Booking records show custody information at a specific time. They can change after court action or a release decision.
Hogan’s information may be reviewed through Minnesota Court Records Online.
Court records may show hearing dates and later filings. Readers may also check the official county custody list.
Minnesota law classifies third-degree criminal sexual conduct as a felony. A conviction may bring up to 15 years in prison.
The maximum fine listed under the statute is $30,000. However, a criminal charge remains an accusation.
It is not proof that a person committed the alleged offense. Hogan is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Prosecutors must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Bond is not a punishment or a finding of guilt.
