What Investigators Allege<\/h2>\n

Investigators said the girl told them she met Dangelo near a liquor store in downtown Fargo. She said she asked if she could stay with him.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the two then went to Dangelo\u2019s home on 10th Street North in Moorhead. The girl told investigators sexual contact happened three times that night.<\/p>\n

Authorities said video footage supported parts of her account. Surveillance video showed the girl walking on Broadway near Bismarck Tavern around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

Investigators said a vehicle later tied to Dangelo left the area minutes later. They said the passenger matched the girl\u2019s description.<\/p>\n

Statement to Police<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, investigators interviewed Dangelo at his home in January. The complaint says he recognized the girl from a photo.<\/p>\n

It also says he admitted the two had sex, but claimed it was consensual.<\/p>\n

Next Court Date<\/h2>\n

Dangelo appeared in court on March 25. An omnibus hearing is set for April 16 in Clay County District Court.<\/p>\n

If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine under Minnesota law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case remains pending. A charge is only an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
