SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) — A Brookings man is behind bars accused of raping a middle school student.
Court documents say 21-year old Nathan Wayne Nelson picked the girl up from church in March. He told investigators in the car that she asked him to take her to a restaurant, but he drove past it and brought her to a wooded area.
That’s where he’s accused of forcibly raping the 14-year-old girl. Court documents say Nelson denied going to the church or the wooded area, but his phone confirmed he was in both places.
Nelson has been indicted for Rape, Aggravated Assault and Solicitation of a minor.
A trial is currently scheduled for August.
