US Attorney General Pam Bondi ripped Minnesota for allowing a convicted serial rapist and Somalian immigrant to walk free just months before he committed another horrific kidnapping and rape.
Abdimahat Bille Mohamed a Somali national legally living in Minnesota is charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman over several days in a hotel room in September, 2025.
On December 3, 2025, federal law enforcement received information on a series of violent kidnappings and rapes committed by Mohamed in Minnesota.
The Complaint of probable cause states that Mohamed committed a string of disturbing sexual assaults, several of them gang rapes, involving at least five victims between 2017 and 2025, many following the same pattern.
The suspect faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years and up to life in prison.
Mohamed, 28, a serial rapist who dodged prison time now charged with kidnapping, raping woman over several days in Minnesota hotel.
The suspect was only free to offend repeatedly, courtesy of light sentences he received from state courts in two previous rape cases, including one involving a child, Justice Department said. Convicted for rape for two separate incidents, years apart and on May 30, 2024, Mohamed raped and adult woman.
Because the judge gave him credit for time served, the the offender who should have been, never went to prison. The twice convicted rapist was out on probation at the time of his recent sexual assault accusation which happened just weeks after his release.

“He committed a rape of a child, a horrific rape in 2017. Then he committed another rape in 2024. He’s arrested in state court, lives in the Minneapolis area the entire time,” AG Bondi said.
“He’s convicted in state court of both rapes [and] they let him walk out the door on probation. Double-rapist. Pled to ‘em, walked out the door” the AG said.
Abdimahat Bille Mohamed has led a charmed life when it comes to the Minnesota court system. Following his arrest in May, 2024, DNA linked him to the 2017 rape of a teen who said Mohamed attacked her after she was first forced at gunpoint to perform oral sex on another man.
He was sentenced to three years in prison for the December 2017 assault of a 15-year-old girl, but the sentence was stayed for five years, meaning he served no time in prison.
For the different case of rape in 2018, he was also sentenced to five years of probation as well as 364 days in the Hennepin County workhouse, but received credit for time served.
In third case he was sentenced to 14 months in prison for sexual assault. However, that sentence was also stayed, so he again avoided serving the time in prison.
Amidst the public outrage of Mohamed’s recent arrest, the Justice Department has signaled that they would be re-visiting prior assault cases where he was let off with ‘soft’ plea deals,
The Somali immigrant’s rape odyssey begins on December 12, 2017, when Mohamed and two others kidnapped and raped a 15-year-old girl, at gunpoint.
In a separate case, on February 7, 2018, Mohamed and two others kidnapped and raped an adult woman in a car. The victim told cops she was assaulted after she was picked up by a man she met on Instagram.
On May 8, 2018, Mohamed and another man kidnapped and raped a woman from St. Paul, MN.
The third rape victim of record, only knew Mohamed from Snapchat, until Mohamed drove to her house. She was sitting in his car when Mohamed drove off having locked the car doors so she could not escape.
Arriving Minneapolis, he pulled the car into an alley and raped her. A second man then got into the backseat, and forced her at gunpoint to give him oral sex.
In September 2024, the laboratory matched Mohamed’s DNA to the swabs taken from the victim, same for samples taken from the body of the previous minor victim.
For his fourth infraction Mohamed on May 30, 2024, raped another a woman he met on Snapchat before driving the woman and her sister to his apartment.
When he took one of the sisters to his bedroom and began his assault, the other sister hearing the cries of her sibling rushed into the room only for the assailant to grab a handgun and threaten her.
She fled the apartment to call police.

When police arrested Mohamed and took him to the hospital for a sexual assault exam, he turned hostile. Kicking squad doors and windows, spitting on officers. His disruptive behavior towards hospital security guards and nurses led to his beings kicked out before the medical exam was completed.
In May 2025, Mohamed was convicted and sentenced to a further 364 days in the Hennepin County workhouse with credit for time served, and a day of probation.
Within just four months – on September 15, 2025, Mohamed picked up a woman he just met in Mankato, Minnesota, ostensibly to go get food, then bring her back home. Instead, he kidnapped her and told her, “you are not going home.”
He drove nearly 70 miles to a hotel in Bloomington, where he kept her for nearly a week.
On September 21, the woman jumped out of Mohamed’s car and told a nearby man, “Can you help me? I am being kidnapped.” The man called 911. The DNA profile obtained from the victim was a match to Mohamed’s known sample..
Comparing differences in doling out appropriate measure of restitution for the pervert, AG Bondi on FOX News said the Justice Department is “going back in time and charging him again with kidnapping and the rape of the 2017 case,” adding, “I can tell you there are more charges to come.”
In the wake of these revelations the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office through a spokesperson, justified the serial lenient sentencing : “Due to circumstances that cause difficulty in many criminal sexual conduct cases, these charges were the available and appropriate ones to secure a felony conviction,” said Daniel Borgertpoepping.
Mohamed is being held without bail on the latest charge of rape. He is next due in court on Dec. 31.
