Joseph Bragg, 28, of Maple Grove, charged with kidnapping and sexual assault after abducting a 7-year-old girl in Zimmerman on Jan. 21, 2026, and later found in a rental truck in Albert Lea.
Joseph Bragg, 28, of Maple Grove, has been charged with kidnapping and first-degree criminal sexual conduct after allegedly abducting a 7-year-old girl in Zimmerman, Minnesota, on January 21, 2026.
The girl was taken after exiting her school bus and was found safe in the backseat of a rental truck in Albert Lea early the next morning.
Authorities tracked Bragg using cell phone data, surveillance footage, and a prior Facebook interaction in December where he posed as a childcare provider.
He had used Lyft to transport the girl to a Plymouth hotel, where she said she was sexually assaulted.
A statewide AMBER Alert prompted a large search involving hundreds of personnel and volunteers.
Bragg, held on $2 million bail, faces serious charges, and his next court date is pending.
