Hastings woman faces new criminal sexual conduct charge

Posted

A 30-year-old Hastings woman already facing prosecution in an earlier child sexual abuse case has been charged with another felony following a separate investigation by the Hastings Police Department.
Kylie Elizabeth Feldick was charged Sept. 11 in Dakota County District Court with one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The charge alleges Feldick had repeated sexual contact with a minor under the age of 16 over an extended period. Prosecutors also allege Feldick had a significant relationship with the child, which is an element of the charge filed against her.
The investigation began Dec. 8, 2025, when Hastings police received a referral concerning possible criminal sexual conduct at a Hastings residence, according to the statement of probable cause. The allegations cover a period beginning Feb. 1, 2023, and continuing through May 15, 2025. The complaint alleges the child told investigators that Feldick engaged in sexual contact with the child on numerous occasions during that period.
Court documents also allege Feldick used a cellphone during some of the encounters. According to the complaint, Feldick recorded media involving the child, sent videos of herself and exchanged sexually explicit material through a mobile application. The court filing does not allege that another adult living at the residence participated in the conduct.
Police interviewed an adult resident as part of the investigation. That person reportedly confirmed Feldick spent time with the child in a bedroom while the adult remained in the living room. The resident told investigators he did not know about the alleged sexual contact, recordings or electronic exchanges at the time they allegedly occurred.
The new case is separate from an earlier Dakota County prosecution involving Feldick. In Court File No. 19HA-CR-25-939, prosecutors charged Feldick with five counts connected to alleged conduct involving a younger child. Those charges included first-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, use of a minor in a sexual performance and a gross misdemeanor count involving alleged sexual conduct with an animal.
According to reporting on the earlier complaint, that investigation began after the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office referred information discovered during an unrelated investigation. Feldick reportedly consented to a forensic examination of her cellphone, and investigators alleged that the search uncovered videos connected to incidents at a Hastings residence in August 2024 and February 2025. Prosecutors alleged the videos included sexual conduct involving a young child who was related to Feldick.
Feldick was taken into custody in connection with the earlier prosecution on May 15, 2025. That date also serves as the final date in the offense period identified in the newly filed complaint. The new filing does not mean Feldick has been convicted in either case, and each charge must be proven separately in court.
When the earlier charges were filed, the state requested that Feldick be held on a warrant. Bail in that case was reportedly set at $750,000 without conditions or $500,000 with conditions. Those conditions included no contact with the alleged victim or other minors, no use of the internet to communicate with minors, no possession of pornographic material and no ownership of animals.
Second-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony under Minnesota law. The charge filed in the new case carries a maximum possible penalty of 25 years in prison, a fine of up to $35,000, or both. A maximum penalty describes the upper limit allowed by law and is not a prediction of what sentence would be imposed if a conviction occurs.
The criminal complaint represents the prosecution’s account of the allegations and the evidence investigators believe establishes probable cause. It is not evidence of guilt, and Feldick is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Both cases will continue through Dakota County District Court.
