He was arrested and charged with fondling the breast of a 13 year old girl and arrested for sexual contact. He admitted his actions and was ordered to make a full admission in juvenile court of the elements of the charged offense. At that time, Rostberg agreed not to run for reelection. The case was then dismissed and the files sealed. (2000)[http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org] | March 3, 2000 | Legislator Arrested | Mike Mulcahy |
