Ali Abdi Mohamed, 27 of Austin, will have an omnibus hearing in July.

Mohamed was formally arraigned in Mower County Third Judicial District Court Friday morning.

He pled not guilty to two counts of felony criminal sexual conduct.

According to Austin Police Department reports, two 14-year-old girls told an Ellis Middle School special education teacher of their encounter with Mohamed, a clerk at the North Main Street convenience store and Sinclair gas station two weeks ago.

According to the police report, the girls said they visited the gas station together to buy cigarettes June 11. Mohamed, who was working that afternoon, allegedly told them to show him their breasts before he would sell them cigarettes. The girls complied and Mohamed sold them cigarettes.

On June 12, the girls returned to the Sinclair station once again to purchase cigarettes.

According to the alleged victims' complaint to police, Mohamed said he would sell them cigarettes if one of the girls would perform oral sex on him.

While one of the girls exited the store and watched from the clear front window outside, she told police she saw Mohamed take the girl by the hand and lead her to a rear office area.

The girl then allegedly told her companion what happened and the two girls later on June 12 told the Ellis teacher, who contacted police for the girls, according to the police report.

An omnibus hearing was scheduled for 11 a.m. July 17 for the defendant.

Mohamed was returned to the Mower County Jail after the Friday morning hearing.
