Fargo Man Charged in Case Involving 16-Year-Old<\/h2>\n

Fargo, North Dakota (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 A 22-year-old Fargo man faces a felony charge involving a 16-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel John Brady was charged Monday with corruption of a minor, according to Cass County court records.<\/p>\n

Court records list the charge as a Class C felony.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

Pair Allegedly Met Through Snapchat<\/h2>\n

Court documents say Brady and the teenager connected through Snapchat about one week before the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

The girl’s name is not being published because she is a minor.<\/p>\n

Investigators say Brady picked her up after school on September 25.<\/p>\n

Court records state they later went to Brady’s apartment in Fargo.<\/p>\n

Investigators allege sexual activity occurred between Brady and the teenager inside the apartment.<\/p>\n

North Dakota has specific laws covering sexual activity involving adults and minors.<\/p>\n

Those laws are available through the North Dakota Legislative Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court Records Detail Brady’s Statement<\/h2>\n

Court documents say Brady told investigators he believed the alleged conduct was legal.<\/p>\n

He allegedly cited Minnesota’s age of consent as part of that explanation.<\/p>\n

Investigators noted that the alleged conduct happened in Fargo.<\/p>\n

North Dakota law therefore applies to the allegations described in the court filing.<\/p>\n

The criminal case will now move through the North Dakota court system.<\/p>\n

Items Seized During Apartment Search<\/h2>\n

Investigators also searched Brady’s apartment during the case.<\/p>\n

Court records say officers found marijuana wax paraphernalia in plain view.<\/p>\n

The filing does not say that discovery changed the felony charge described in the complaint.<\/p>\n

No police officers are identified in this report.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Court Hearings<\/h2>\n

Brady is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on October 30.<\/p>\n

A felony dispositional conference is scheduled for December 16.<\/p>\n

Court dates can change as criminal cases move through the legal process.<\/p>\n

Information about North Dakota courts is available from the North Dakota Court System<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The filing contains allegations that have not been proven at trial.<\/p>\n

Brady is presumed innocent unless he is proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

The case remains pending in Cass County.<\/p>\n

Future court filings could provide more information about the evidence and hearing schedule.<\/p>\n
