Overview
- Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, is charged with kidnapping and third-degree criminal sexual conduct and is held at the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility on a reported $300,000 bond, with a court appearance set for Dec. 31.
- Court documents say he met the woman on Snapchat, picked her up in Mankato, and took her to a Bloomington hotel where he held and assaulted her over several days.
- Investigators report the victim escaped on Sept. 21 by jumping from his car on Aldrich Avenue South in Minneapolis, where a resident called police.
- Mohamed has two prior sexual assault convictions, including a 2017 rape of a 15-year-old to which his DNA was later linked following a 2024 arrest in a separate case.
- In May, a judge stayed imposed prison terms in both earlier cases under plea agreements, placing Mohamed on probation; a county attorney’s office spokesperson said the current charges reflect the available options to secure a felony conviction.
