A LeRoy man who reportedly raped a 15-year-old girl in September 2010 was sentenced to 15 years probation in Mower County District Court Friday.

Steven Michael Allen Collett, 26, was sentenced on one count third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Three other criminal sexual conduct charges were dismissed when he entered a plea agreement in June.

As part of his sentence, Collett must attend a sex offender program, register as a sex offender and abstain from possessing pornography and alcohol.

According to a court complaint, Collett was acquainted with the 15-year-old girl through a mutual friend. The girl told police Collett said he wanted to date her and was “in love” with her.

He also asked the girl to tell her parents he was 17 years old before he met them, according to court documents.

On Sept. 3, 2010, the two stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn together. The girl told police she knew Collett would probably force her to have sex with him, but she went with him to the hotel anyway. She then told police he raped her the first night they stayed at the hotel, but added that she consented to sex with him the next two days.

According to a court complaint, Collett proposed to the girl with an engagement ring when they arrived at the hotel and she agreed to marry him. A few days after that, though, he reportedly broke up with her for another teenage girl.

Collett initially told law enforcement officials he did not have sex with the girl because she is a minor, but when he was interviewed three days later he admitted that he was dating her, knew her age and should not have been having sex with her. He also told police all sexual activity between them was consensual.
