Ramsey County prosecutors have charged a
22-year-old man with sexually assaulting a woman with Down syndrome
while on a bus in St. Paul.


      Herbert Lee House III of St. Paul is charged with two counts of
criminal sexual conduct. The charges allege House knew the woman
was vulnerable.


      According to the complaint, witnesses on the bus Tuesday said
they saw a woman appear to perform oral sex on House. The woman was
later identified as a 19-year-old with Down syndrome who was on the
bus with her personal care attendant. The attendant had no idea the
woman had been sexually assaulted at the rear of the bus.


      House denied to an investigator that he had the woman perform
oral sex on him.

      House was in the Ramsey County Jail Friday.
