MINNESOTA: A Rochester (Somali?) Muslim man, Bakil Dahir, has been convicted of felony sexual assault and false imprisonment charges in connection with an attack on a woman after she and her boyfriend hailed a ride from him.

25-year-old Dahir was found guilty of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and the false imprisonment charge in a trial last week. He was acquitted of a second-degree assault count and a misdemeanor assault charge in the case.

Dahir was arrested last fall after a woman alleged he raped her after offering to give the victim and her boyfriend a ride home following a night out drinking in a downtown Rochester bar. The criminal complaint alleged Dahir forced the boyfriend out of the vehicle and then drove to another location where the woman was sexually assaulted. Court documents indicate.
