A 41-year-old Albert Lea man pleaded not guilty Monday in Freeborn County District Court to charges of criminal sexual conduct with two children from 2004 through 2009.

Allen Ross Camerer pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Court documents allege Camerer engaged in multiple instances of alleged sexual conduct, including intercourse, with the two alleged victims.

He has been scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on June 3, with his jury trial scheduled to begin June 7.

Camerer faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $40,000 fine if he is convicted of the first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges. A second-degree criminal sexual conduct charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and a $35,000 fine.

According to reports, Camerer spoke with authorities on May 12 about the allegations, at which time he “stated no admission of having contact or sexual intercourse … and did not know why they would say that he had had sexual contact and sexual intercourse with them.”
