STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause: Your complainant is a licensed peace officer employed by the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office. In that capacity your Complainant has reviewed the police reports relating to Julio Baez, the above-named defendant, and the allegations contained therein. Based upon that information, your complainant believes the following to be true and correct. On Monday, June 4, 2018, Detective C. Nelson of the Olmsted County Sheriff s Office was assigned to investigate a sexual assault case. Specifically, Det. Nelson was advised by the Dodge County Sheriff s Office that, during an investigation conducted into a Dodge County incident, investigators learned about long-term sexual abuse committed by JULIO BAEZ (DOB 10/8/66). Some of the sexual abuse occurred during the time that BAEZ and his family lived in Byron, Olmsted County, Minnesota from November 2006 to the spring of 2011. On June 5, 2018, Det. Nelson interviewed an alleged victim who was born in 1993 and is a family or household member of BAEZ (hereinafter Victim #1 ). Victim #1 reported that BAEZ sexually abused Victim #1 during the time when Victim #1 was between ages 5 and 16 years old and lived in many different locations. Among the acts committed by BAEZ against Victim #1 were digital penetration of Victim #1 by BAEZ, BAEZ attempting to perform oral sex on Victim #1, and BAEZ forcing Victim #1 to masturbate BAEZ. Victim #1 remembered BAEZ committing these acts on a regular basis for approximately eleven years. From 2006 to 2011, BAEZ and his family lived in Byron, Olmsted County, Minnesota. In addition to the acts described above, Victim #1 remembered BAEZ attempting to have sexual intercourse with Victim #1; BAEZ touched his erect penis to the intimate parts of Victim #1, but was unable to penetrate Victim #1. During the years that the family lived in Byron, Victim #1 would have been 12 to 17 years old. On June 8, 2018, Det. Nelson interviewed another alleged victim who was born in 1988 and is a family or household member of BAEZ (hereinafter Victim #2 ). Victim #2 reported that she was sexually abused by BAEZ starting when she was four years old. Victim #2 described extensive sexual abuse while the family lived in Rice County and Dodge County. While the family lived in Byron, Minnesota, BAEZ engaged in digital penetration, sexual intercourse, oral sex, and sexual contact with Victim #2. BAEZ engaged in force and coercion to commit these offenses. During the time that BAEZ lived in Byron, Victim #2 would have been 18 to 23 years old. BAEZ has a significant relationship with, and was in a position of authority to, Victim #1 and Victim #2. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: YOU MUST APPEAR FOR EVERY COURT HEARING REGARDING THIS CASE. FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR COURT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CRIMINAL CHARGES BEING IMPOSED AND PUNISHED AS PROVIDED IN MINNESOTA STATUTES SECTION 609.49. 3
