The complaint says the alleged victim was under 13 at the time of the reported incidents.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Complaint Says<\/h2>\n<p>According to the court filing, the allegations involve incidents said to have happened between September 3, 2019, and May 29, 2020, in Mahnomen County.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says the victim later described several incidents during a forensic interview in September 2024. The girl said the abuse began when she was in fifth grade.<\/p>\n<p>The filing says one incident happened at an uncle\u2019s home in Waubun. The girl said she was in bed with her sisters and her father when he touched her inappropriately.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says a second incident happened later under similar circumstances. The girl said she tried to prevent it by placing a sister between them.<\/p>\n<p>She told investigators she got out of bed after the alleged touching. The complaint states there was no penetration reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Follow-Up Interview<\/h2>\n<p>The court document says the victim later spoke again with investigators on September 30, 2024. During that follow-up, she said there may have been more incidents.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, the victim\u2019s sisters remembered her saying something bad had happened when she was younger. However, they said they did not recall specific details.<\/p>\n<h2>Defendant\u2019s Response<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint states Uran denied that any sexual conduct had happened. He told investigators that when he had custody of his daughters, they all slept in the same bed.<\/p>\n<p>The charges remain allegations unless proven in court. A criminal complaint is not a conviction.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Details<\/h2>\n<p>The case was filed in Mahnomen County District Court under court file number 44-CR-26-42.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.343<\/a>, second-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony.
