A Rochester man is accused of having sex with a child.
35-year-old James Jean Austin is charged with one count of 1st degree criminal sexual conduct. He is being held on $50,000 bond in the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center.
The Rochester Police Department says it was contacted in September by a man from Illinois about Austin allegedly exposing himself to children at his Rochester home. The man’s son told investigators when he and his siblings were staying at Austin’s home while visiting Minnesota, the boy witnessed Austin sexually assaulting the boy’s brother. The alleged victim in this case is younger than 13 and has developmental delays which make it extremely difficult to communicate.

Austin denies seeing any of the children during their visit and claims their mother could have let them into his apartment when he was not home.
Austin was arrested October 28. His next court appearance is set for January 5.
