Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A former Stewartville man has been sentenced to a year in jail for a criminal sexual conduct conviction.

25-year-old Austin Fisher, who now has a Cannon Falls address, entered a guilty plea to a third-degree criminal sexual conduct charge in November just as his trial was set to begin on that charge along with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, soliciting a minor to engage in sexual conduct, and a gross misdemeanor charge of providing alcohol to a minor. Those charges were dismissed through a plea deal.
