Dodge Center couple arrested for Criminal Sexual Conduct

An assault investigation in Dodge County led to the arrest Friday afternoon of a husband and wife from Dodge Center.

Forty-one-year-old Jazmin Sifuentes-Moreno was arrested at their residence in Dodge Center while her husband, 48-year-old Cesar Avarado Solis was arrested at his Blooming Prairie employer. Both were arrested for 1st degree Criminal Sexual Conduct charges (victim under the age of 13) and transported to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center to be held until their first court appearance next week.

The Sheriff’s Office has had several inquiries asking if agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were conducting arrests Friday in Dodge Center. Dodge County Investigators (driving unmarked law enforcement vehicles) and deputies in marked squads were involved in these arrests Friday. ICE agents were not involved in this investigation and did not assist Dodge County Deputies with these arrests.

No additional information will be available until after Solis and Sifuentes-Moreno are formally charged on Tuesday in Dodge County District Court.
