DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Jesse James Schultes, 35, was listed in a Becker County Jail booking dated October 27, 2026.
The booking record lists first-degree criminal sexual conduct allegations involving a person younger than 16.
The allegations cite Minnesota Statute 609.342, subdivision 1a(g), which involves a legally defined significant relationship.
The same statute appears twice in the supplied jail record.
However, the information does not establish whether the entries represent separate counts or a repeated listing.
First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct Allegation
Under Minnesota Statute 609.342, first-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony offense.
Subdivision 1a(g) addresses certain sexual conduct involving someone under 16 and a person with a significant relationship.
State law defines that relationship through specific family, household, and other close personal connections.
The booking entry does not identify the exact relationship alleged in Schultes’ case.
It also does not provide the reported incident date, location, or details from an investigation.
The identity of the person allegedly involved has not been disclosed in the supplied information.
TRF News is withholding identifying details about any possible minor involved in the case.
Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law
A conviction for first-degree criminal sexual conduct can carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
The law also allows a fine of up to $40,000, or both penalties.
Actual sentencing depends on the circumstances, applicable sentencing laws, and the court’s findings.
These are statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed on Schultes.
The booking information does not establish whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.
Becker County Jail Booking Details
The Becker County Jail is located at 1428 Stony Road in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.
The facility operates under the Becker County Sheriff’s Office.
The supplied booking information identifies October 27, 2026, as Schultes’ booking date.
It lists his age as 35 and includes two entries under the same criminal statute.
No estimated release date, bond amount, or scheduled court hearing was provided.
The entry also does not identify the investigating agency or where the alleged offenses occurred.
Readers can review the official Becker County inmate roster for updated custody information.
Jail records may change following court hearings, transfers, or release decisions.
Court Records and Possible Updates
Additional court filings may clarify the number of counts and the allegations supporting the case.
Those records may also identify court dates and the specific charges filed by prosecutors.
Readers can search available public documents through Minnesota Court Records Online.
Pending criminal cases generally cannot be found using only a defendant’s name.
A case number or another permitted search method may be required.
The jail record reflects allegations and does not establish that the reported offenses occurred.
Schultes is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
TRF News will report additional verified details if they become available.
