Warroad Man Charged in Roseau County Sex Case

Roseau County (trfnews.i234.me) According to the complaint, Kyle James Rourk, 33, was charged in Minnesota District Court with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Charges Filed

The complaint says the alleged crimes happened between June 1, 2023, and March 15, 2024, in Roseau County.

One count carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $40,000 fine. The second count carries a maximum sentence of 25 years and a $35,000 fine.

The complaint also lists mandatory minimum prison terms if there is a conviction. Court records cite Minnesota Statute 609.342 and Minnesota Statute 609.343.

What the Complaint Says

According to the court filing, the alleged victim told authorities the abuse happened more than once over an extended period.

The complaint says the child reported incidents at home in Warroad and during a family trip to the Twin Cities.

It also says the child first shared the allegations with friends in late 2025 before later speaking with family members.

The case was then reported to law enforcement in March 2026, according to the complaint.

The complaint states that Rourk denied the allegations when questioned.

Case Status

Rourk was arrested on March 10, 2026, and booked into custody, according to the complaint.

The charges remain allegations unless they are proven in court. A criminal complaint is not a conviction.

As the case moves forward, hearings and filings are expected in the Roseau County District Court. More case information may be available through the Minnesota Court Records system.

This case involves a child, so TRF News is not naming the alleged victim.
