MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A Minneapolis man was found guilty after it robbed and sexually assaulted a sex worker in February.

What we know

Dalvin Crockett, 23, was found guilty by a Hennepin County jury on one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct while armed with a dangerous weapon and one count of first-degree robbery.

Crockett is scheduled to be sentenced in the Minneapolis attack on Dec. 20.

Background

On February 5, 2024, police responded to an apartment complex and met with the victim, who said she met a man, later identified as Crockett, at an escort location and assaulted her. The charges say Crockett was standing by the bed, armed with two handguns, one tan and one black.

The victim said Crockett put a gun to her head and told her to get on the bed where the sexual assault took place. He later withdrew the money he sent her through a payment app, deleted the call log, wiped the phone, took the money and then left the apartment.

Investigators reviewed surveillance video from the apartment building showing Crockett wearing a two-tone jacket with a fur hood and a black mask and leaving the building about 40 minutes after arriving.

Other fees

Crockett faces similar charges in Ramsey County for a Feb. 8 assault after he allegedly assaulted another woman he met in an escort arrangement at a St. Paul.

He also has several other pending cases in Hennepin County. He is charged with first-degree robbery after allegedly robbing a woman at gunpoint on Feb. 5 in her apartment. He faces a charge of sexual intercourse without consent for allegedly assaulting another woman in an apartment building days later on February 10.

Additionally, Crockett was charged in March 2024 with domestic assault and threats of violence after he allegedly threatened his ex-girlfriend during a child custody exchange in November 2023.

what they say

Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty issued the following statement after Crockett was found guilty:

“While the news today is about a guilty verdict, my thoughts are with the victim. She did not have to testify, but her courageous participation in the prosecution of Mr. Crockett strengthened our case and led to today’s verdict. I gave responsibility for Mr. Crockett and the community will be protected by him.

“Sex workers are often ignored by elements of the justice system when they are victimized. This is reprehensible. All members of our community are entitled to protection under our laws.”
