Duluth firefighter charged with sexually assaulting infant

A Duluth firefighter is charged with sexually assaulting a baby girl.

Caleb Lofald is facing four charges, including second-degree criminal sexual conduct. A criminal complaint accuses Lofald of having sexual contact with a four-month-old girl at his residence in May 2013.

The complaint says police investigators found 11 images of the baby. The complaint says police also obtained secretly recorded video made in September showing a 6-year-old boy and an adult woman in various stages of undress in the defendant's guest room and bathroom.

The 32-year-old Hermantown man has been on administrative leave since November.

Duluth police say officers searched Lofald's home and the fire station where he works as part of an Internet crime investigation. Court records do no list an attorney for Lofald.
