Crookston Man Charged in Child Sex Case<\/h2>\n

Polk County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Climax man is facing felony charges after prosecutors filed a criminal complaint involving allegations of sexual conduct with a 16-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

Dylan Tyler Johnson, 26, of Climax, Minnesota, has been charged in Polk County District Court with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is also charged with furnishing alcohol to a person under 21.<\/p>\n

Charges Filed in Polk County Court<\/h2>\n

The complaint states the alleged incident happened on July 3, 2026, in Crookston, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Johnson faces a felony charge of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 15 years in prison, a $30,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

He also faces a gross misdemeanor charge for allegedly providing alcohol to someone under the age of 21. That charge carries possible penalties of up to 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Complaint Details Alleged<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, family members reported concerns after checking on a backyard bonfire late at night.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges Johnson and the 16-year-old girl were located inside a nearby building during the incident.<\/p>\n

The document states the girl was found to be intoxicated. Investigators allege Johnson provided alcohol before the reported sexual activity.<\/p>\n

The complaint also states Johnson and the girl were related and had a significant relationship.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the girl later confirmed that Johnson gave her alcohol.<\/p>\n

Court Case Moves Forward<\/h2>\n

The allegations are contained in a criminal complaint filed in Polk County District Court. A criminal complaint is not a finding of guilt.<\/p>\n

Johnson remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Court records show the case was filed in Minnesota\u2019s Ninth Judicial District.<\/p>\n
