Prosecutors: Selim Choose To Meet Girl He Thought Was Underage. “Prosecutors say Selim said that was too young and it was not going to work, but then Selim apparently changed his mind and agreed to meet her in St. Louis Park. According to the criminal complaint, Selim said her age made him really nervous, but he would still come see her so they could “spend some time together.” ” [KARE]
