Twenty-year-old Jenessa Diamond White of St. Paul was charged in Anoka County court Thursday with second- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

White is accused of sexual activity with the girl in a car parked in a Blaine park Tuesday night.

According to the criminal complaint, a police officer approached the car and found White and the girl inside.
