BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. – A Brooklyn Park man was charged with sexually assaulting a young child at a park, the Hennepin County Attorney\u2019s Office announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jonah Canny, 18, was charged with a single count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday. Prosecutors are seeking bail of $250,000.<\/p>\n
According to the criminal complaint, a family went to Willowstone Park in Brooklyn Park at about 6 p.m. May 26. About three hours later, the family was ready to leave when they noticed a 6-year-old family member was missing. The child\u2019s uncle saw him come out of a portable toilet with a teenager following close behind.<\/p>\n
The uncle confronted the teenager who said the child was stuck in the port-a-potty and he had gone in to get the child out. When the family got home, the child said someone removed the 6-year-old\u2019s clothes and touched the child\u2019s genitals and buttocks, the complaint states. When the child\u2019s mother called police, the uncle gave a detailed description of the man he confronted and picked Canny out of a photo line-up which included Canny\u2019s driver\u2019s license photo.<\/p>\n
