A man from Fargo, North Dakota, has admitted to some serious charges involving a 12-year-old boy. Dominic Lilly, who is now facing the consequences of his actions, changed his plea to guilty in court.
According to the court documents, Lilly had invited the boy to his home between 10 and 15 times. During these visits, he would give the boy alcohol and marijuana until he was unconscious.
The boy reported that they would lie together in Lilly’s bed and have sexual encounters that he described as very traumatic. Investigators found that the boy even had pictures and videos of Lilly and his bedroom saved on his phone.
Since his arrest, Lilly has been held in the Cass County jail. On Monday, he pleaded guilty to five counts of gross sexual imposition involving a victim under the age of 15, one count of luring a minor using a computer, and one count of transferring body fluid that may contain HIV.
Lilly is set to be sentenced on March 10, and the community is waiting to see what consequences he will face for his actions.
