State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Edgard Francisco Talave Latino, Appellant

Summary

The court held that the domestic-assault statute's definition of a family or household member includes persons involved in a former significant romantic or sexual relationship, provided the statutory factors support that determination. It also held that the evidence was sufficient to establish such a relationship between Latino and the victim because the relationship lasted approximately 18 months, was romantic and sexual, involved frequent interaction, and had ended only days before the assault. The court therefore affirmed the court of appeals.
