SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Minnesota woman has pleaded guilty to raping a young boy in South Dakota.
The Argus Leader reports Kelsie Krueger, 30, pleaded guilty to felony rape last week in Brookings County. She faces up to 40 years in prison.
According to court documents, Krueger assaulted the boy between Jan. 2012 and Dec. 2013, when he was 2-4 years old.
She was originally charged with three counts of rape in the first degree and three counts of aggravated incest in April 2019.
As part of a plea deal, the other charges against Krueger were dismissed.
Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 23.
The Brookings Register reported that 35-year-old Randy Dexter was charged as a co-defendant in the case. He was convicted in February of one count of first-degree rape for assaulting a 4-year-old girl in 2015. He was sentenced in May to 45 years in prison, the paper reported.
