A warrant was issued Wednesday for an Albert Lea man who was charged with physically and sexually assaulting a woman last July after he did not appear for sentencing.

Michael Lee Naranjo, 29, was facing sentencing for domestic assault by strangulation, domestic assault and false imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the three charges in July.

Court documents state Naranjo was charged after an Albert Lea police officer was dispatched July 7 to 1005 S. Broadway Ave. on a report of an emergency. The victim, who was in a relationship with Naranjo at the time of the incident, said they had gotten into an argument after his car was repossessed.

Naranjo was charged with striking her in the ribs three to four times, as well as multiple strikes to her head, arms and face. He reportedly struck her once in the mouth.

Original charging documents state she reported he strangled and sexually assaulted her, as well as threatened to shoot her and another family member.

The victim reportedly had bruises across her body, as well as a mark inside her lower lip.

Naranjo was reportedly found the following day at another residence. After being arrested and taken to the police station, he reportedly admitted they were in a physical argument over the vehicle. He claimed the victim was the aggressor and denied any nonconsensual sexual activity.

Naranjo was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct and did not plead guilty to the charge.

In a second file, Naranjo was charged with a domestic abuse no-contact order violation and a violation of an order for protection. In a third file, he was scheduled to be sentenced for a domestic abuse no-contact order violation, while in a fourth file, Naranjo did not enter guilty pleas to three alleged domestic abuse no-contact order violations.
