Over the years, Bluestem Prairie has posted about the criminal troubles of Jeremy Alan Giefer, most recently of St. Peter.
At the Mankato Free Press, Brian Arola reports in St. Peter man's conviction for sexual misconduct affirmed by appeals court:
ST. PETER — Appeals court judges on Monday upheld a St. Peter man’s jail sentence for sexual misconduct with a minor in 2021.
Jeremy Alan Giefer, 51, received a 150-day sentence in jail, minus 39 days credited to him, in March 2024, after a judge found him guilty of second-degree criminal sexual conduct in a bench trial in Nicollet County District Court. He had a 36-month prison sentence stayed for 15 years while he serves on supervised probation.
The case stemmed from accusations by a 13-year-old girl, who told police Giefer inappropriately touched her at his residence.
Giefer was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a minor when he was 19 years old in 1994. Gov. Tim Pawlenty pardoned him in 2008.
In 2010 a girl accused Giefer of sexually abusing her starting when she was 9-10 years old, but she later recanted and Giefer was never convicted in that case.
In his appeal of the 2024 conviction, Giefer argued the state failed to prove he acted with sexual or aggressive intent beyond a reasonable doubt. . . .
Here's the ruling (contains graphic language)
