My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota
My boyfriend was convicted of criminal sexual conduct in the 5th degree (unwanted touching over the clothing) as a juvenile. He was 12 years old; the alleged victim was his sister. She claimed he was mean to her and her friends, and that he had given her "titty twisters" and smacked her on the butt. He was removed from his home, and taken to a lock-up facility in which they questioned him about the abuse. He took and passed not one, but two lie-detector tests. During this time he also underwent family therapy in which his sister recanted her accusations and stated that her brother never was sexually inappropriate towards her. Regardless, he was advised to plead guilty to gain a quicker release. However, upon his guilty plea, he was sent into foster care/group home(s) for the remainder of his childhood. He is required to register as a sex offender. He was given 10 years of probation, which is schedule to end in 2 weeks. Last week, over the 4th of July, he was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to jail overnight. He was released upon sobering. Now, he was arrested at my house. He is registered as a resident at his moms apartment. He stays at my house some nights, although he has not registered my home as a residence. He received a phone call from a detective this morning threatening him with 1 year in prison for violating his probation, and also threatening him with another 5 years as a registered sex offender. Can he be charged with violating his probation for not registering my home as a place that he frequents? Also, if they choose to pursue charges against him, can he appeal them? Can he also appeal the conviction from 10 years ago? He was a child, with no parental interest, and he did not commt the offense. Can his sister testify as an adult that the abuse never took place?
