DETROIT LAKES, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jesse James Schultes, 35, was listed in a Becker County Jail booking dated October 27, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists first-degree criminal sexual conduct allegations involving a person younger than 16.<\/p>\n

The allegations cite Minnesota Statute 609.342, subdivision 1a(g), which involves a legally defined significant relationship.<\/p>\n

The same statute appears twice in the supplied jail record.<\/p>\n

However, the information does not establish whether the entries represent separate counts or a repeated listing.<\/p>\n

First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct Allegation<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 609.342<\/a>, first-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony offense.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 1a(g) addresses certain sexual conduct involving someone under 16 and a person with a significant relationship.<\/p>\n

State law defines that relationship through specific family, household, and other close personal connections.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not identify the exact relationship alleged in Schultes’ case.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide the reported incident date, location, or details from an investigation.<\/p>\n

The identity of the person allegedly involved has not been disclosed in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

TRF News is withholding identifying details about any possible minor involved in the case.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

A conviction for first-degree criminal sexual conduct can carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $40,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Actual sentencing depends on the circumstances, applicable sentencing laws, and the court’s findings.<\/p>\n

These are statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed on Schultes.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not establish whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Becker County Jail Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The Becker County Jail<\/a> is located at 1428 Stony Road in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

The facility operates under the Becker County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

The supplied booking information identifies October 27, 2026, as Schultes’ booking date.<\/p>\n

It lists his age as 35 and includes two entries under the same criminal statute.<\/p>\n

No estimated release date, bond amount, or scheduled court hearing was provided.<\/p>\n

The entry also does not identify the investigating agency or where the alleged offenses occurred.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official Becker County inmate roster<\/a> for updated custody information.<\/p>\n

Jail records may change following court hearings, transfers, or release decisions.<\/p>\n

Court Records and Possible Updates<\/h2>\n

Additional court filings may clarify the number of counts and the allegations supporting the case.<\/p>\n

Those records may also identify court dates and the specific charges filed by prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Readers can search available public documents through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pending criminal cases generally cannot be found using only a defendant’s name.<\/p>\n

A case number or another permitted search method may be required.<\/p>\n

The jail record reflects allegations and does not establish that the reported offenses occurred.<\/p>\n

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

TRF News will report additional verified details if they become available.<\/p>\n
