Fergus Falls Jail Holds Man on Sex Charge

FERGUS FALLS (trfnews.i234.me) — Reilly Larry Dean Nagel, 19, remains listed at the Otter Tail County Jail.

The county roster shows Nagel was booked on April 7, 2026.

His booking number is 002600000317. The roster lists one active felony charge.

The charge alleges third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving penetration and coercion.

Bond Options Listed

The jail roster lists three bond options for Nagel.

The first option is $60,000 cash or bond without conditions.

A second option lists a $30,000 bond only with conditions.

The third option lists $3,000 cash only with conditions.

The public roster does not explain the conditions. Those terms may appear in a court order.

Bond conditions can change after later hearings. Official court records provide the controlling information.

Charge Involves Alleged Coercion

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.344, subdivision 1(a).

That law covers alleged sexual penetration accomplished through coercion.

Minnesota law gives a specific meaning to coercion in sexual conduct cases.

It can involve words or circumstances that create a reasonable fear of bodily harm.

It can also involve confinement or the use of superior size or strength.

The jail roster does not describe the alleged incident. It also does not identify the complainant.

No incident location appears in the supplied custody entry.

Possible Penalties and Court Records

Third-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony under Minnesota law.

A conviction can bring up to 15 years in prison.

The law also allows a fine of up to $30,000.

Those penalties are possible maximums. They are not a statement about the outcome of this case.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.344 online.

Current custody information is available through the Otter Tail County jail roster.

Public filings may also appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The county warns that jail information may not always be current or complete.

An arrest or charge does not establish guilt. Nagel is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
