   DETROIT LAKES, Minn. - A former worker at a Detroit Lakes group home has been   
   sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping a woman resident with the mental   
   capacity of a young child.   
      
   Jallah Sallah Kollie, 39, of 219 Second Ave. W., West Fargo, was sentenced   
   Tuesday, Sept. 12, in Becker County District Court on felony counts of first-   
   and third-degree criminal sexual conduct-victim mentally impaired.   
      
   "You are a predator of the worst kind," a grandmother of the victim told   
   Kollie in a victim's impact statement. "You preyed on an innocent, vulnerable,   
   beautiful woman with childlike innocence. You violated her body in the worst   
   way. Hopefully, some    
   justice will be found by putting a monster like you behind bars. It will save   
   other women."   
      
   The grandmother said that after the rape, her granddaughter sat alone and   
   terrified at the group home for 27 hours before the grandmother was notified   
   and took her home where she felt safe. According to the investigation   
   memorandum filed by the Minnesota    
   Department of Human Services, the rape happened at a Lakes Home group home in   
   Detroit Lakes.   
      
   Authorities responded at the group home on Sept. 13, 2016, after another   
   employee reported walking in on Kollie and the victim, who was naked in the   
   bathroom. According to the DHS report, the victim is a vulnerable adult who   
   has a "lack of understanding    
   of sexuality," but is somebody "who does not need assistance in personal   
   hygiene care."   
      
   The report states that when the other employee saw blood on the victim's   
   buttocks, they told Kollie to leave and began questioning the victim on what   
   had happened. The victim described in graphic, childlike detail an assault   
   that involved raping several    
   parts of her body and that after she told him to "get out of here," Kollie   
   told her to "shut up" and just "be touched."   
      
   Authorities say a sexual assault kit administered at the hospital points to   
   him.   
      
   Throughout his jury trial Aug. 8 and on through his sentencing hearing on   
   Tuesday, Kollie steadfastly denied having any sexual contact with the victim,   
   who operates on the intellectual level of about a 6-year-old. The witness   
   testified during the trial,    
   as did the victim and Kollie. It took the jury about 2½ hours to convict him.   
      
   On Tuesday, he told Becker County District Judge Jay Carlson that he is not   
   evil, never touched the woman, and is going to appeal his conviction.   
      
   Kollie's attorney, Simon George of Detroit Lakes, asked the judge for a   
   lighter sentence than the state sentencing guideline, arguing, among other   
   things, that Kollie has no prior offenses on his record. He asked the judge to   
   stay execution of sentencing    
   on the first count and sentence him on the second count, which would be about   
   50 months in prison.   
      
   Becker County Attorney Tammy Merkins strongly objected, saying that would   
   essentially nullify the jury verdict on count 1. She pointed to the   
   vulnerability of the victim, the caretaker role of the defendant, and that the   
   assault violated the sanctity of    
   the victim's home.   
      
   Judge Carlson agreed with Merkins. Noting that the first-degree felony charge   
   of criminal sexual conduct carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison   
   and a $40,000 fine, he sentenced Kollie to the exact amount of time   
   recommended by state sentencing    
   guideline - 144 months - with 96 months of that served in prison and 48 months   
   on supervised release, as long as there are no disciplinary problems while he   
   is in prison.   
      
   He was granted credit for 246 days served in jail and was fined $50 plus court   
   fees, including the public defender fee. He was ordered to provide a DNA   
   sample and to register as a predatory sexual offender when he is released from   
   prison. He was not    
   adjudicated on the second count. Because of the length of the sentence, no   
   civil commitment proceedings were initiated by the state.
