   Donte Zemaitis-Thomas   
      
   A 2016 Prior Lake High School graduate will not face a jury trial regarding an   
   alleged rape at a Mankato party after a plea deal in the case was reached in   
   Blue Earth County District Court earlier this month.   
      
   Donte Zemaitis-Thomas, 20, had been charged with three felonies — two counts   
   of criminal sexual conduct and one count of false imprisonment in connection   
   to the alleged rape. He had pleaded not guilty in February to those charges   
   and a jury trial was    
   scheduled to begin on July 17.   
      
   As part of a plea deal entered July 10, Zemaitis-Thomas pleaded guilty to   
   fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct for nonconsensual sexual contact, a gross   
   misdemeanor. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 1.   
      
   According to the criminal complaint:   
      
   A Mankato Department of Public Safety officer was dispatched to the Mayo   
   Clinic Health System in Mankato on Oct. 19 to investigate a possible sexual   
   assault. At that time, the victim told the officer she’d been forced to have   
   sex with someone at a    
   party.   
      
   A witness told police she had found the victim in the bathroom of the house,   
   “hysterical” on the floor. The victim told the witness that a man from the   
   party, who she only knew as “Donte,” had raped her. The witness also saw a   
   ripped condom    
   wrapper on the floor.   
      
   The victim told police she went to the bathroom and as she went to leave, the   
   man allegedly pushed her into the bathroom and raped her. She told police she   
   told him “no” multiple times and attempted to escape.   
      
   The victim told police that the man ordered her to stay in the bathroom and   
   then left.   
      
   Police identified Zemaitis-Thomas as a suspect and a warrant for his arrest   
   was issued on Oct. 23. He was arrested and booked into Blue Earth County Jail   
   on Nov. 1.   
      
   Zemaitis-Thomas faces up to one year in jail for the gross misdemeanor charge,   
   though the state will argue for up to 60 days as part of the plea deal,   
   according to the Blue Earth County Attorney’s Office.
