A Burnsville man has been charged with six felonies, including kidnapping and sexual assault, in a case tied to two 13-year-old girls from Andover who were reported missing on Tuesday.
The complaint charges that Casey Lee Chin, 23, allegedly met the girls online through a website called Omegle, which encourages users to “talk to strangers.”
According to the Anoka County Attorney’s Office, Chinn contacted the girls online, picked them up in Andover Monday night and took them to his Burnsville home. He told them to use the back door and go to the basement because he lived with his parents. There, he allegedly sexually assaulted the girls.
Deputies were able to track Chinn’s location through computer forensics and arrested him early Tuesday morning. …
Chinn coached youth sports at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Minneapolis and East Ridge High School in Woodbury.
At East Ridge, Chinn was a volunteer baseball coach and had gone through a background check, the South Washington County Schools district said.
“We are extremely concerned to hear of this issue from our law enforcement community and will act swiftly and accordingly to ensure the safety and well-being of our students,” South Washington Superintendent Keith Jacobus said in a statement.
