Cottage Grove Man Rapes 7 Year Old, Does Only 2 Years, Released, Rapes 12 year Old Dozens of Times in Two Year Period

 In Cottage Grove, just a block east of Park High School, resided a serial child rapist Donald Oreskovich. According to public court records, in 1995 he was charged with 3 child sex crimes by Washington County prosecutors for raping a seven year old child. Just as is the case in all but a few examples in the last two years, all the charges except one were dropped or dismissed. Oreskovich was convicted of 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct for the rape the following year. Also, just like today, the same broken
Minnesota Law and Sentencing guidelines only gave him 30 months in prison for raping this seven year old child. When he was soon released he eventually moved in a block from the local High School in Cottage Grove, Park High School in a home at  on 79th Street S (address removed because he no longer lives there). No one is allowed to know where sex offenders currently live in MN, literally only a few states in the Country do not allow the public access to this vital information. The best we can do is get the last known address from the original public court data.

(If you'd like to stay informed on the latest sex offenders charged and convicted in Washington County please subscribe to get our free emails.)  

As the years went by Don Oreskovich was charged and convicted of failing to register as a sex offender in 1999 and 2007; but again, MN law just gives a slap on the wrist with extended probation in most cases. Never have we seen these child sex offenders get extra prison time for ignoring their registration commitment. Side note, the max sex offender registration in MN is only 10 years.

Fast forward to 2014... Is it any surprise that Don Oreskovich was caught having raped another child under 13? According to the criminal complaint he raped a child multiple times on different occasions over a two year period. In one three month period he said he had sex with the victim "15 to 20 times." The victim stated she'd resist him "but he was too big" and would over power her. Other times he admitted to drugging her water with narcotics and prescription sleeping pills. Almost anyone you ask will tell you the mind of child rapist is so twisted there is little to no chance of "rehabilitating" them like some criminals. The best action most states have found is to not hesitate to lock them up for life on the first conviction or if released require life time registration and strict monitoring on a public run website. 

For Oreskovich, he was convicted of second degree child rape and only because it was the second time with dozens of self admitted accounts of having sex with the child was he sentenced to 30 years in prison. He also admitted to molesting a 9 year old and a 14 year old in the criminal complaint. Should child rapists be locked up for life the first time, or at least intensely supervised for life like in most states? 

This case is NOT uncommon in just Washington County alone. Many convicted rapists from Washington County sexually assault and rape again in the County after their first conviction or even second. These are just some of the articles from the last two years:
Convicted Child Rapist in Oakdale, Wanted for Rape Again, This Time A Baby Sitter, Weak Charges 
Convicted Child Predator and Stillwater Mortgage Broker Charged With Two Counts of Child Rape

At least once a month for the last two years we bring you articles just like this and there's no end in sight until the law changes. Even if County prosecutors got tough on these child rapists and didn't drop over half the initial charges and accept ridiculous plea deals these men would still face minimal prison time and sex offender registration. If you hope to see any law change, continue to contact law makers. 

To see dozens more examples in the last two years of insane plea deals from Washington County prosecutors and the weak MN sex offender law letting the public down see: http://wcwatchdog.com/local-sex-offender-articles/

In Minnesota, law makers and prosecutors believe child rapists can be "rehabilitated," do not need to be monitored, and can become good members of society. The evidence is the fact no bill has passed to make sex offender law more tough in the last two years. Also, Only several hundred of the over 20,000 convicted rapists in Minnesota are confined in prison. Most only do a couple years and then are released. More information here:

It's clear that just because a child rapist is charged or convicted, doesn't mean justice will be served after sentencing if convicted. Therefore, if the punishment for ALL criminal sexual conduct crimes is raised than weak charges and convictions will be stronger. With the raised bar there won't be a thing as an outrageous plea deal to lesser rape charges or a weak sentence.

Tell legislators to also make the sex offender list public like nearly every other State in the Country does. All but MN, DC, and Maine have public lists. Maine only has 2,700 sex offenders in their state though. Compared to over 20,000 in MN.

Only 30 Days in Jail and Probation for Child Molester Who Had Sex with Lake Elmo Child

In March of 2017 a Lake Elmo mother reported to police her child was possibly having a sexual relationship with an "older adult." In the criminal complaint she explained she had found her child's iPad showed sexual communication between the two. Detectives went to an inpatient treatment facility to talk to the child who was being treated there for depression and self harm.
Child Predator Jeff Fesler


The child victim stated, in the criminal complaint, Jeff Fesler, age 61, had been communicating; apparently showing the officer the evidence on the iPad. In May of 2016, Fesler picked the child up from their home in Lake Elmo and went to the Hilton Garden Inn in Oakdale where the two had sex. The child was 15 at the time.  

Detectives went to the house of Jeffrey Lampert Fesler. He invited them in and explained he had met the victim several times in Stillwater and they had sex once. He thought the child was over 18. Fesler said he works at One Twelve Treatment center in Minnetonka and knew the child was now being treated for depression and self harm because he had communicated with the child recently.

The Washington County Attorney's office charged Jeff Fesler with weak 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct with a child age 13-15 a month later in April of 2017 because the crime happened here. Typically child rapists convicted of 3rd degree CSC have very weak sentences for example:

Hennepin County Prosecutors charged Fesler with sexual communication with a minor as that crime was committed in their jurisdiction. Neither county asked for him to be detained so he remained free in the public until he was convicted a year later it appears. This is evidenced in the criminal complaint with the "summons to appear", the court documents, and at sentencing recorded from the BCA. If he did serve jail time before conviction he'd been awarded credit for the number of days detained. He was given one day credit (below). He plead guilty to both charges it appears.

Side note: The attorney who defended this now convicted child rapist was Lauren Campoli it appears. Her office appears to commonly defend child rapists: https://campolidefense.com/practice-areas/sex-crimes/

Some would say he raped the child as by definition it is sex, with or without force with someone without their consent. Children do not have the capacity to consent. Either way, for this sex crime on this 15 year old child who apparently went into severe depression to the point of self harm, Jeff Fesler is only serving 30 days in jail and 15 years of probation it appears. The max length on the sex offender registry is only 10 years. He can appeal to lower the length of time on probation. The list is NOT public. There are nearly 20,000 registered sex offenders in MN and only about 700 are level 3 offenders that you occasionally hear about moving into the "general area" of a city.

Last year and this year not one sex offender bill passed. Half the bills to make stronger sex offender laws were held back in the house. Senator Warren Limmer called them "non starters." The rest were killed in the Senate by the lead of Senator Limmer and Julie Rosen in conference committee. Both refused to comment.

If you hope to see any law change continue to contact law makers, especially Warren Limmer. 


It's clear that just because a rapist is convicted with level 3 child rape does not mean they'll serve prison time. Therefore, if the punishment for ALL criminal sexual conduct crimes is raised than plea deals will be less weak. 

Tell legislators to also make the sex offender list public like nearly every other State in the County does. All but MN and Maine have public lists. Maine only has 2,700 sex offenders in their state though. Compared to nearly 20,000 in MN.
