ALBERTVILLE, Minn. — A Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at her friend’s home.
Jared Sprunk has been charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct and has been placed on administrative leave by the sheriff’s office.
According to the charging documents, Wright County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to a residence in Albertville for a report of a sexual assault.
Upon arrival, the deputies found an injured Sprunk, another man and two women, including the complainant.
The woman told the deputies that she and her friends had met Sprunk at a bar earlier that night and she had invited him to her friend’s home.
The woman allegedly told deputies that Sprunk was too drunk to drive, so she asked him to sleep in the basement of her friend’s home.
Roughly ten minutes later, the woman alleges Sprunk sexually assaulted her and she began yelling and pounding on the door before her friends came down.
Sprunk allegedly told deputies the next day he didn’t remember what happened that night, before denying any assault has taken place.
“Our office supports a full and transparent investigation into the alleged off-duty conduct by this HCSO deputy. That deputy has now been put on administrative leave pending the external investigation,” said a statement from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
