Twin Valley, MN (trfnews.i234.me)—A disturbing and deeply unsettling case has emerged in Twin Valley, Minnesota, as Juan Garza and his son, Michael Stodola of Moorhead, face serious sex crime charges involving a teenage girl.
According to court documents, Garza, who was the victim’s caregiver, allegedly aided and abetted his son’s repeated sexual abuse of the minor. The victim reported that Michael Stodola had sex with her approximately 30 times, supplying her with drugs and alcohol from March 2022 to January 2023.
As a result, Michael Stodola is now facing three different counts of criminal sexual conduct, as well as a gross misdemeanor for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. His father, Juan Garza, has been charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, accused of helping cover up the abuse. At one point, he allegedly told the victim “not to make a big deal out of it” to keep Stodola out of jail.
There is no booking photo of Juan Garza available at this time, and the only photo of Michael Stodola comes from a previous December incident.
This shocking case is still under investigation, with more details expected to emerge. Follow TRF News for updates.
