According to court documents, on Sunday afternoon police were dispatched to the Schneider Regional Medical Center to investigate a reported rape. There, they met a woman who at the time was not able to speak with them because she was drifting in and out of consciousness. Officers then contacted the woman’s minor sister, who told them that she had been at the family’s Estate Mandahl home at the time of the incident.
The girl said that she saw her older sister in their mother’s bathroom, passed out on the floor, while her brother stood nearby laughing. To protect the identity of the victim and the minor witness, Consortium journalists have decided not to name the suspect.
The young girl said that her sister did not appear to be breathing, so she threw cold water on her several times in an attempt to revive her. Her sister was vomiting and still cycling between consciousness and unconsciousness, however during one of her lucid moments the woman indicated that she needed to speak with her younger sister alone.
