BEMIDJI, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – In a surprising turn of events, prosecutors have dropped charges against Oscar Luna of Texas, the prime suspect in a reported gang rape incident in Bemidji last fall. Luna was initially charged with criminal sexual conduct following a harrowing assault on an 11-year-old girl.

Case Background:

The young victim was rushed to the hospital post-assault, bearing injuries consistent with rape. Luna was apprehended at the residence identified by the victim, where he was found alongside 11 foreign nationals. Despite being the sole individual arrested, DNA tests conducted on Tuesday failed to corroborate Luna’s involvement in the crime.

Ongoing Investigation:

Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson confirmed that none of the DNA samples retrieved from the victim matched Luna’s genetic profile. While authorities remain convinced of the girl’s ordeal, the lack of DNA evidence linking Luna to the assault prompted the dismissal of charges.

Legal Proceedings:

Despite the dropped charges related to the gang rape, Luna continues to face prosecution for drug-related offenses. Additionally, he remains subject to two outstanding warrants issued in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

As the investigation unfolds, questions linger about the identity of the perpetrator, leaving authorities and the community determined to seek justice for the victim.

  1. We should make DNA tests happen for everyone at birth, and immigration .. imagine if DNA was databased and simply available to law enforcement.. Sad

  2. SO -is anyone going to find out who sexually assaulted the child, & is ANYONE protecting her now??????WHY is there no charges against the "AUNTIE" that's trafficking the child???? The FACT that the child could ID the 11 illegals in the house should be sufficient for numerous other charges.

  3. These A**holes made sure the 2 rapists got away. There were "only" 12 guys in that house found 🙄 and she KNOWS she was in that house! THOSE GUYS KNOW WHO DID IT! The scumbags do this crap all the time, the 2 rapists are clearly in another spot by now.
    ""Are these illegal aliens? Because usually 12 (i mean 14) men arent sharing a house? 🤷

  4. i reported an assault on my daughter in the 80s, the abuser was not charged. my daughter has PTSD from this abuse, Bemidji law enforcement does not protect women or children.
