The criminal complaints, filed in Rice County Court, say the victim was around the age of nine or 10 at the time of the alleged abuse.

Court documents say the alleged criminal sexual activity occurred roughly five years ago at an apartment in Faribault. The young victim reported the sexual abuse allegations at a Faribault school.

She said the Faribault couple eventually forced her into engaging in sexual acts with them. The two also had the young victim watch them engage in sexual acts and showed her pornography, the complaints say.

At one point Schoen apologized to the victim and claimed he had multiple people in his head, including a boy who had a crush on her, court documents say. The victim said the abuse stopped when she was nearly finished with the 5th grade.

Schoen told police he has dissociative identity disorder, that he gave the victim honest answers when she asked about sex and that he does not remember the alleged activity taking place, the charges say.

Schoen and Doneux are each charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Schone and Doneux are due back in court in April.

See How Minnesota's License Plates Have Evolved Since 1909

Nothing beats a nostalgia trip. It's always fun to see how things looked the year you were born and how much they've changed throughout the years.

Minnesota's license plates have certainly gone through many evolutions. The first "license plate" was actually a rectangular black leather automobile license tag with a brass number '1' on the center front. It was issued by the State Boiler Inspector in the State of Minnesota in 1903.

The first Minnesota license plate as we know it was issued in 1909. Let's take a look at that license plate and then all the plates that followed, along with some interesting Wikipedia knowledge as we go.

We've certainly come a long way, but it's also interesting that the now popular blackout plates have been around before.
