A 19-year-old Shoreview man has been charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct for a Feb. 4 incident that occurred in a St. Thomas dormitory.

A Ramsey County criminal complaint alleges that Jacob Collier, 19, sexually assaulted a St. Thomas student around 4 a.m. The woman went to a hospital that morning and underwent a sexual assault examination before going to her parents’ house.

According to the complaint, Collier knew the victim through another student. The university confirmed Collier was not a St. Thomas student.

“(Collier) has been officially trespassed from our campus,” the university wrote in a statement to TommieMedia.

Collier told authorities, according to the complaint, that he drank two Bud Light Seltzers and a 12-to-16 ounce water bottle filled with vodka along with smoking marijuana overnight.

According to the complaint, Collier wrote an apology letter to the victim, stating, “What i did was wrong and horible and i will take responbility for my actions.”

The university is currently working with St. Paul Police to aid its investigation.

“St. Thomas does not comment on active law enforcement investigations involving our students,” the university wrote.

Collier was arrested on Feb. 6 and appeared in court on Feb. 9, where his bond was set to $30,000, which he posted.

If convicted, Collier faces up to 15 years in prison, a $30,000 fine, or both.

“Our focus is on providing support and resources to the victim, and on continuing to fully cooperate with police investigators,” the university said.
