MINNEAPOLIS: — A man has been charged with fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct after prosecutors allege he had nonconsensual sexual contact with a woman in Minneapolis.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court, Daud Hussein Mohamud is charged with one count of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct involving nonconsensual sexual contact, a gross misdemeanor.
The charge stems from an alleged incident on Sept. 10, 2026, on Hennepin Avenue South in Minneapolis.
According to the complaint, an adult woman told police that Mohamud approached her while she was outside the building. Prosecutors allege Mohamud initially extended his hand as though he was going to shake her hand before making unwanted sexual contact with her.
The woman contacted police after Mohamud allegedly walked away, according to the complaint.
Responding officers located Mohamud in the area based on a description provided by the woman. The complaint alleges that while being detained, Mohamud spontaneously asked officers whether the detention was “about the lady.”
Police then conducted an identification procedure, during which the woman identified Mohamud as the person involved in the alleged incident, according to the complaint.
Mohamud was in custody at the time the complaint was filed.
Fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct as charged in this case is a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days in jail and/or a $3,000 fine.
The allegations contained in the criminal complaint are accusations. Mohamud is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
