A 22-year-old Albert Lea man is accused of sexually assaulting a Mower County boy younger than 13.

Roger Conner faces one first-degree and one second-degree criminal sexual conduct charge in Mower County District Court.

According to a court complaint, Conner allegedly abused a boy over a period of two years from 2011 to 2013. The victim’s mother and sister reported the abuse to the police last month.

The mother allegedly told police the victim would allegedly get “night terrors” at the same time many nights, which could have been when the abuse took place.

Conner’s next court appearance is Nov. 6. He is being held on $250,000 bail.
