Burnsville Man Charged with Sexual Conduct with 4-Year-Old

A Burnsville man has been charged with allegedly sexually abusing a girl in Minneapolis beginning when she was 4 years old, and warning her that “something bad” would happen to her if she told her mother.

Ulises Quijada-Duay, 33, is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child younger than 13. The crime is classified as a serious felony and carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and a $35,000 fine.

Quijada-Duay remains in the Hennepin County Jail on a $250,000 bond. He is also on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold.

According to the criminal complaint, signed by Minneapolis Police Sgt. Patrick Myslajek, police were called to a Minneapolis home on March 28 after a woman reported that her young daughter had been molested on “multiple occasions.”

The woman said she dated Quijada-Duay beginning in the summer of 2006 through 2009, and that he babysat the victim and other children while she was at work.

The victim was interviewed April 6 at CornerHouse, a Minneapolis child abuse evaluation and training center. She told authorities that Quijada-Duay touched her sexually about 20 times when she was 4 and 5 years old.

The victim said that while Quijada-Duay was babysitting, he told the boys to go outside and play, but made her stay inside the house with him.

She said she asked him to stop, but he refused. Quijada-Duay told the child that if she told her mother about the touching, “something bad” would happen to her, according to the complaint.

Quijada-Duay is scheduled to make a first appearance on the charge today in Hennepin County District Court.
