NEW ULM — Seven felony criminal sexual conduct charges were filed July 1 in Brown County District Court against a 21-year-old Sleepy Eye man accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl several months ago.

Charges include one each of first-degree and second-degree criminal sexual conduct, two third-degree charges, and three fourth-degree charge, all filed against Eugenio Flores, 500 Remmele St. S.W., Sleepy Eye.

Bail without conditions was set at $100,000; $40,000 with conditions July 1. A court appearance was set for 11:30 a.m. July 12.

According to the complaint, Sleepy Eye Police were called June 24, 2021 regarding a juvenile female who was sexually assaulted. Police contacted the Child and Family Advocacy Center in Mankato and set up a forensic interview that took place in Mankato with the girl on June 29.

The girl said the incidents happened a few months ago when she was 14 or 15 years old. She said Flores began texting her a little more than a year ago about how beautiful she was and would put his arms around her and touch her other ways and tell her not to tell anyone.

She said Flores made her feel uncomfortable, that his three-year-old son was in the back seat, and told her he wanted to have sex with her, but she kept telling him she wanted to go home.

The girl said Flores had sex with her the next day at his residence despite her telling him she wanted to leave. In addition, the girl said Flores asked her to send her nude photographs over Snapchat.
