Minnesota Woman Gets 30 Days for Sexual Conduct

(Bemidji, Minnesota) A Red Lake woman, Jacqueline Ann Guinn, gave birth to a child in November 2008 and the birth certificate was signed by Guinn and a 15-year-old boy. Subsequently, Guinn went to the county human services department and applied for welfare for her child, listing the 15-year-old as the father.

Police were then notified and Guinn was arrested. In April 2009, Guinn pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a boy 13-15 years old.

This week, 24-year-old Guinn was sentenced to a stay of adjudication and 15 years of probation.

Guinn, who had pleaded guilty April 7, must serve 30 days in jail, attend and complete outpatient sex offender treatment, complete chemical dependency evaluation and treatment and follow recommendations, avoid alcohol and controlled substances, submit to random testing, avoid bars or liquor stores, avoid people younger than 18 who are consuming drugs or alcohol, submit to polygraph examinations as directed and pay fees, avoid contact with males younger than 18, except her own children; obtain employment and a GED, and pay a $328 fine.

Presumably, if Guinn stays out of trouble for the term of her probation, charges will be dismissed.
