Marshall County (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Cameron William Verner<\/strong>, of Park River, North Dakota, has been charged in Marshall County District Court with two felony counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from allegations involving a child identified in court records as J.M. The complaint says the alleged abuse happened years ago when both lived in the same home. The filing says the child shared a bedroom with Verner during that period.<\/p>\n

What The Complaint Says<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, Marshall County authorities received a report from social services in April 2025. That report said J.M. disclosed past sexual abuse. The child was then interviewed at a child advocacy center in Grand Forks.<\/p>\n

Court records say J.M. described repeated abuse over about two years. The complaint also alleges Verner used a knife to threaten the child. Prosecutors charged Verner under Minnesota\u2019s first-degree criminal sexual conduct law. One count alleges the use of a dangerous weapon. A second count alleges the age difference between the parties.<\/p>\n

Interview And Denial<\/h2>\n

The complaint says investigators later interviewed Verner at his apartment in Thief River Falls. According to the filing, Verner denied sexually abusing J.M. He told investigators he never sexually touched the child.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Verner admitted he owned a knife. However, the filing says he denied using it to threaten J.M. The court document also says Verner told investigators J.M. had seen him naked or masturbating in the past because they shared a room.<\/p>\n

Background In The Filing<\/h2>\n

The complaint says J.M.\u2019s mother later learned more during an anger episode involving the child. According to the filing, J.M. told her the anger was tied to the alleged abuse. The complaint also says the mother recalled earlier statements from J.M. about abuse, but she believed he meant rough physical behavior at the time.<\/p>\n

As of this report, the charges remain allegations. No conviction is listed in the complaint. A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
