On April 17, 2026, a report was made to the Chaska Police Department that an individual had observed WAYNE GUIDO MUELLER, [DOB REDACTED], the defendant herein, touching a six year old child (hereinafter "Victim 1") on the child's vagina. Sergeant Moore spoke to Victim 1's parent, who stated that on April 16, 2026, the defendant was over at Victim 1's residence in the City of Chaska, County of Carver. On that date, the defendant was reading a bedtime story to Victim 1 and the door was closed, which Victim 1's parent noted was unusual.
Victim 1's parent opened the door, and later decided to check the surveillance cameras due to concern about this behavior. Victim 1's parents observed the defendant touching Victim 1 on vagina on the video recording in Victim 1's bedroom. Sergeant Moore reviewed the video recording of this incident and observed the defendant sitting on a bed with Victim 1 reading her a story. Victim 1 is sitting in a position with her knees in an upright position with her left leg tucked underneath her and right leg bent.
The defendant then moves his hand directly onto Victim 1's vaginal area and begins to rub the area with the middle three fingers on his left hand. The defendant moves his fingers up and down and side to side on Victim 1's vagina for approximately 30 seconds. The defendant continues this behavior until the door opens and Victim 1's parent walks in. When the door opens, the defendant moves his hand puts it behind Victim 1. Sergeant Moore also reviewed a second video that occurred approximately 16 minutes after the first video.
In that video the defendant is sitting next to victim 1, who is reading a book, and the door is now open. The defendant is seen repeatedly looking out of the door to see if anyone is in the area. Victim 1 leans back and the defendant reaches over and rubs Victim 1's vagina with his left hand until Victim 1 leans forward. Victim 1 then rolls over, and the defendant puts his hand underneath Victim 1's buttocks and rubs his vaginal area. Victim 1 then rolls to her side and the defendant touches Victim 1 on her anus and vaginal area over the clothing.
The defendant was interviewed and denied ever touching Victim 1's vaginal area. When shown a still image from the video recordings the defendant stated he could not recall that incident. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49., intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court.
