2. Bemidji girl sexual assault case update
The case of the sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl in Bemidji has taken a new turn with updates released by Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson. The investigation, which began nearly seven months ago, involved main suspect Oscar Luna. The victim described being taken to a yellow house, tied up, and assaulted by several men. Despite initial charges against Luna, DNA evidence did not match him to the crime. As a result, the charges against Luna have been dismissed due to lack of evidence. The case remains open as law enforcement continues to analyze physical evidence and statements from witnesses. The Beltrami County Attorney’s Office will continue to investigate the case, with a focus on any new evidence that may be discovered. During the processing of the scene, law enforcement found drugs that Luna admitted were his, leading to a felony third-degree possession charge. Luna, with previous DWI charges, plans to plead guilty. The prosecution team expressed gratitude for the hard work put into the case, which involves a young girl who experienced trauma. Those with relevant information are urged to contact the Bemidji Police Department or Crime Stoppers of Minnesota. The outcome of the case without charges is seen as a further trauma for the victim and all involved.
