Rochester Man Charged With Sexually Abusing Young Child

Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man has been charged with child sexual abuse.

A criminal complaint filed by the Olmsted County Attorney's Office charges 40-year-old Chamros Ouch with two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges next month.

Court records indicate the charges stem from an investigation that was opened last fall by the Rochester Police Department following a forensic interview with a minor female. The victim reported that she was sexually assaulted by Ouch multiple times at a Rochester residence when she was four or five years old.
