Christopher Karls, charged with raping a woman in her Como neighborhood home, has pleaded guilty.
[Karls] pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal sexual conduct, three counts of burglary and one count of kidnapping in connection with the May 4 assault.
Authorities say blood found in the home helped them tie the assault to Karls. A DNA profile developed from the blood led to a match to Karls' profile in the state's convicted offender database.

After Karls told her he was "desperate" and asked for money, the woman offered him her camera and computer before he ordered her to undress and sexually assaulted her. Afterward he ordered her to shower. She tried to call 911, but he took the phone away. Then, wearing only a towel, she jumped to the deck below and ran to a neighboring house.
Karls was convicted in 2002 for burglarizing an occupied dwelling in Stearns County.
