Allegations of Sexual Assault of High School Student in Jail Not Surprising

Last month the Star Tribune reported that an 18-year-old high school student who was being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Sherburne County Jail suffered repeated sexual assaults by his cellmate. The student, who had been taken into federal immigration custody, was housed with another “boarder” in the jail, a convicted sex offender who was locked up in the Sherburne County Jail under a contract with the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
