ROOSEVELT — A 25-year-old man faces two criminal charges after police say he had sex with a teenage girl and gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

Jaden Cecil Priebe, of Roosevelt, was charged Friday in 8th District Court with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, a third-degree felony, and willful introduction of a communicable disease, a class A misdemeanor.

In February, Roosevelt police received a report of a 17-year-old who had sexual relations with Priebe. The victim notified police the same day she was informed by a doctor that she had tested positive for type 2 herpes “and would have this the rest of her life,” according to charging documents.

Priebe had told others he had an STD but did not tell the girl, according to the charges.

A summons was issued for Priebe on Friday to appear in court at a later date.
