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.

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:

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.

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.

In January of 2017 Parker Cole Running Jarvis, DOB 7/16/1998, Last known address 8845 90th Street S Cottage Grove, MN 55016 was charged with violently gang raping a 14 year old with 3 others in a Woodbury townhouse according to the Criminal complaint. 

Parker Running-Jarvis

He's was initially charged with a solid list of four rape charges:I: Criminal Sex Conduct-1st Degree-Penetration – Aid/Abet by Accomplice(s);
II: Criminal Sexual Cond-1st Degree-Penetration – Injury – Use Force/Coerce;
III: Aiding and Abetting Criminal Sex Conduct-3rd Degree-Force or Coercion;
IV: Criminal Sex Conduct-3rd Degree-Victim 13-15 Actor >24m older

He was added to our running list of charged and convicted sex offenders:Washington County Sex Offenders. Names, Photos, Addresses.

Unfortunately it appears the Washington County prosecutors folded and gave him a plea deal of a lifetime. They dismissed all the charges except the 3rd degree Criminal Sexual Conduct. 

Something could have gone wrong in the prosecution of the case to explain this injustice of a plea deal. However, it is doubtful because if there was lack of evidence than all the charges would have been dismissed. We don't know because the County does not answer questions like this.

What is known, is all that is important. The fact is a 14 year old child was gang raped and one of the guys who did it is walking with a short 10 months in St. Cloud prison (15 months if refuses to comply with treatment) 5 years probation, a $1,573 charge, and register as a sex offender for the maximum in Minnesota 10 years it appears. 

The problem is further explained in our related article: Watchdog Review of Each of the Fifty States Sex Offender Laws Finds Minnesota Ranked the Most Unsafe

The solution is in Minnesota law makers hands to make it so no sex crime against a child goes without mandated prison time and sex offender registration. Currently most child rapists rarely do more than a year in jail and no more than 10 years on the sex offender registry.

Three Years to Charge Cottage Grove Man Caught with "Library" of Child Rape Videos and Child Porn, No Jail Time Likely

Randy Carl Rappe, age 66, birth date 07/02/1951, was found by FBI and BCA to have dozens of child porn files on a file sharing site. They notified Cottage Grove police who went to his home within the Woodland Park Apartments in Cottage Grove. This was over three years ago in May of 2014. As you read on you may be outraged that this danger to society was left THREE years without being charged it appears. He'll remain free as it's typically another year until conviction, which as you'll also find is of little consequence. Last year the County took 6 months to charge Timothy Pierre of Oakdale for sexually assaulting a 7 and 9 year old multiple times. 

See other articles warning you of released sex offenders in our area: http://wcwatchdog.com/local-sex-offender-articles/

What's worse is the WEAK sentence that awaits Randy Rappe (if convicted) like all Child porn convicts past and present in MN. That is, just probation after only a month or two in jail! In January, William Mcginnis, of May Township in Washington County was convicted of four counts of child porn and only got 10 years

Randy Rappe

probation and a weak 5 years on the sex offender registry. He was initially charged with 9 counts of child porn for having over 70 videos of child porn. His conviction took FOUR years! Not that it matters because he's on the streets again and his address is hidden on the offender registry in MN. Through it all he only served 60 days in jail. see: www.countrymessenger.com/news/man-sentenced-in-may-township-child-pornography-case

On the surface the law seems adequate. Each child porn conviction states in the law the penalty is up to 5 years in Jail and $5,000 for each offense in MN Statute 617.247.4(a); but that's never what comes close to happening, as you've just read. More here: Rampant Sex Crime on Children, in Just 2yrs, 10 Cases From County Alone, 8 Simple Laws to Update

Knowing the criminals never face anywhere close to the penalty stated in the law, why do prosecutors only charge for a few counts of child porn when dozens and dozens of files are found? This would possibly add up to an actual penalty in all these cases. According to the criminal complaint, police found nearly 1,000 videos and pictures of child porn. He initially denied knowing the age of the children. But changed his story when the officers started listing off the titles of his files such as "Webcam 12-Year-Old Boys", "Two Young Boys Making Love", and "Eight-to-Ten-Year-Old Russian Flower".

Detectives state in the criminal complaint Rappe had a "card catalog listing videos in almost a library like fashion with a check-in and check-out. Defendant stated he had been trying to catalog all of his movies at one point" Yet he's only charged with 7 counts of child porn?

The most horrifying fact of the case is at least a dozen of the videos Rappe downloaded showed children being violently raped, even infants. Often police will describe the content of the child porn they find in cases like this and the media always fails to adequately explain. Every piece is disturbing and should be remembered by law makers and the public that these men are not in possession material that was mistakenly downloaded or of people that could be considered consenting adults. 

If there's one conclusion to draw from the police descriptions of the child porn all these cases is that they are purely heinous and only the most twisted would collect such material. Yet in Minnesota we take Four years to prosecute them, give them a slap on the wrist, and send them back into society with only five to ten years on the sex offender registry that is hidden from the public. It's not all the County's fault, the pressure rests on law makers. 

It's time law makers do something to get justice and monitor these child predators for life. See:
