FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - One man is facing burglary charges after police say he broke into a Down syndrome achievement center and a church, where he watched porn.
Documents say police got a report of a burglary at GiGi’s Playhouse for the 3200 block of 20th St. S. on Jan. 13. Authorities say a man forced his way into the building and then left.
A spokesperson for GiGi’s says alarms went off immediately and the suspect was in the building for less than one minute and nothing was taken.
Days before the burglary report at GiGi’s Playhouse, authorities responded to a delayed burglary call at St. Paul’s Free Lutheran Church in the 2800 block of 12th St. S.
Documents say an office door in the church was pushed open, and a laptop on a desk was left open with a porn website up. Authorities say the laptop also had a stain on the keyboard believed to be semen.
Authorities took DNA samples from the laptop to use for their investigation.
Later, police identified the suspected burglar in both cases as 20-year-old Desire Kiadii of Fargo.
Records show police went to the apartment of Kiadii and questioned him about what happened. Documents say Kiadii admitted to entering both locations and “appeared to eventually agree to watching pornography on the computer within” the church.
Kiadii is now facing several charges including felony burglary, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.
GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo released a statement on the incident saying, “We want to assure our members, their families and the community at large that the safety and well-being of all is our top priority. We want to remind everyone that our mission at GiGi’s Playhouse is to spread love, inclusion, and acceptance, and nothing will deter us from that mission.”
The organization goes on to say, “We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that GiGi’s Playhouse is a place of love and positivity, and we are so grateful for the continued support for our community. Together, we will continue to empower indivudals with Down syndrome and their families and create a brighter future for all.”
