   The Superior Man in St. Louis County Jail on kidnapping and rape charges   
   stemming from a Duluth incident last summer is now facing a second set of the   
   exact same charges for a different case that happened since then. The two sets   
   of charges are the    
   result of an investigation into "a yearlong series of actions" taken by the   
   suspect.   
      
   Dakota Daniel Thorestenson, 28, is being held in the St. Louis County Jail   
   without bail, pending a court date.   
      
   Authorities are also sharing that this isn't the first time Thorestenson has   
   faced serious charges. One case in particular - a drug-related charge -   
   resulted in federal prison time.   
      
   In 2018, Thorestenson was convicted of "possessing more than 200 pounds of   
   marijuana with an intent to distribute" in a case in the state of Idaho. It's   
   due in part to the nature of that crime and the conviction, that he's not   
   being offered bail in this    
   case.   
      
   Both the St. Louis County Jail roster and the Superior Telegram [paywall]   
   provide the details into the most-recent kidnapping and rape. It's worth   
   noting that some of the details could be offsetting.   
      
   In the most-recent case, authorities allege that Thorestenson "abducted his   
   then-girlfriend from a downtown bar, drove her to her West Duluth home and   
   tackled her when she tried to escape". Law enforcement then alleges that the   
   suspect "took the woman to    
   his Superior residence, where he bound her with rope and duct tape as he beat   
   and raped her".   
      
   The earlier case was the culmination of an lengthy investigation that the   
   Superior Police performed at the end of last year. As part of the interview   
   with the police, that victim shared that Thorestenson "abused her mentally,   
   physically, and sexually    
   while they dated". This culminated in a kidnapping from a Duluth bar in July.   
   Once the suspect had the victim in his car, she alleges the he brought her to   
   a dead end; she briefly escaped, but Thorestenson "tackled her" during which   
   point she blacked out.   
    She briefly remembers coming to a conscious state at the suspects house while   
   he assaulted her. That assault eventually led to a rape incident, during which   
   the victim went "in and out of consciousness". The suspect later brought her   
   to a bathtub to "   
   give her a cold shower to shock her body back awake". The incident culminated   
   in a trip to the hospital, where the couple gave an excuse about "being jumped   
   after leaving the bar".   
      
   That same victim detailed numerous other incidents that occurred during the   
   course of their involvement.   
      
   According to the St. Louis County Jail booking information, Thorestenson faces   
   the following current charges:   
      
   3rd degree Assault   
   5th degree Criminal Sexual Conduct   
   3rd degree Criminal Sexual Conduct   
   1st degree Criminal Sexual Conduct   
   A US Marshall's Hold   
   Kidnapping - to Commit Great Bodily Harm/Terrorize   
   Kidnapping - to Facilitate Felony of Flight   
   Domestic Assault   
   Each of the charges - except the Domestic Assault - are felonies.
