Charges allege Twin Cities church volunteer sexually assaulted 4 children
A St. Paul man is accused of sexually assaulting four young children while volunteering at a Twin Cities church this year, according to new criminal charges.
Joshua Alirio Seeman, 50, has been charged in Ramsey County District Court with two counts of 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the allegations.
Seeman is accused of sexually assaulting three boys and one girl in bathroom stalls during Sunday school while volunteering at King of Kings Lutheran Church and School in Roseville, charges state.
According to the criminal complaint, the victims include a six-year-old boy, a five-year-old boy, a four-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl.
The first report was made on April 6 and the other three were reported to police on April 7. In each instance, Seeman would either use Facebook messenger or text the parents of the children after the alleged assaults had taken place, asking if the parents needed a babysitter or about their statuses of coming to school.
Seeman was arrested on April 10.
The criminal complaint describes Seeman as a "cognitively delayed" adult.
Court documents show that he also has a pending 2022 case where he's been charged with 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly luring a vulnerable adult to a bathroom and sexually assaulting them. A notice of intent to prosecute was filed in the case on April 9.
Prosecutors believe Seeman is a high risk to public safety, asking the court for him to remain in custody. He's being held at the Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center as of Tuesday.
Precautions have been put in place due to Seeman's cognitive disability. Investigators have been advised to not interview him by his brother, who is his legal guardian.
Bring Me The News reached out to King of Kings Lutheran Church and School but have not received a response. BMTN also reached out to Seeman's attorney for comment and haven't heard back.
