Cold Spring Man Charged With Sexually Abusing Young Girl

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- A Cold Spring man is charged with 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly sexually assaulting a girl when she was as young as 10-years-old.

Forty-one-year-old Hector Medina Acosta is accused of assaulting the girl between 2013 and 2015 when they lived together.

The girl said Medina Acosta touched her inappropriately several times during that time.

The charges state that authorities recently learned of the accusations and an arrest warrant was issued.
