FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (KFGO KBRF) – A man has been sentenced to 27 months at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud after pleading guilty to having sexual contact with his friend’s underage daughter in Otter Tail County.
David Tieman of Brainerd, 37, was charged with touching a teenage girl when they were living in the same house last December.
Otter Tail County deputies say the girl reported that Tieman was a friend of her dad’s, and after about a week of him staying with them, he joined her on the couch when her dad was sleeping and began touching her inappropriately. When he then tried to get her to join him in the bathroom, she ran to her bedroom, grabbed a pocketknife, and told him to leave.
When deputies spoke with the father about what happened, he became upset and pulled up in-home security footage. The footage showed Tieman acting in a way that authorities say lined up with the daughter’s statements.
In addition to his 27 months in St. Cloud, Tieman was also sentenced to 3 months at the Otter Tail County Jail and 10 years probation.
