Teen sexually assaulted at ‘family-friendly’ nudist colony
A Wisconsin man allegedly molested a 14-year-old family friend while she was visiting her grandparents at a “family-friendly” nudist club in Minnesota over the summer.
Steven H. Wicklund, 69, was charged Thursday with third-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection to the sickening crime, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Star Tribune.
The alleged pervert is accused of taking advantage of the teenager during her July visit to the Oakwood Club, which bills itself as a “non-sexual” and “family-friendly” nudist colony.
The 14-year-old girl had been visiting the naturist club with her grandparents and described Wicklund as a “family friend,” she told authorities.
She and Wicklund — both nude — were sitting inside the club when he allegedly began raping her and forcing her to touch his genitals.
He told her “it was fine and normal” that they were sexually touching her, according to the documents.
When the teenager told him to stop, Wicklund allegedly grabbed her hand and forced her to touch him.
The Wisconsin man is accused of continuing to harass his victim even in the months after the trip ended by sending her a string of explicit text messages, including requests for images of her and her friends.
“Have you been masturbating or having sex with your girlfriends?” one of the deranged messages reportedly said.
Wicklund was ultimately busted in November after the teenager’s mother found the series of demented demands and reported Wicklund to the police, the criminal complaint states.
The teenager admitted to her mom that she was sexually assaulted during the trip to the nudist colony.
Wicklund was charged by summons and is expected to appear in court on Jan. 12.
If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
