MASON CITY – A woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted while she worked at the Four Oaks facility for troubled children has now gone public with her story.
Wednesday, police confirmed that they would not be filing any charges in the case.
An officer told NIT that “investigators do not have probable cause to file a charge at this point. The CA’s [county attorney’s] office was asked to review the investigator’s file and reached the same conclusion. If charges are filed, we (prosecution) would have the burden to prove the person was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the accused allegation.”
In the wake of that revelation from police, the woman who made the accusation has decided to go public with her story. The following information was posted to a social media account for Breanna Mae Flores, age 24, of Mason City:

***PLEASE SHARE AND FORWARD TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!! THIS NEEDS TO SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE***
On the morning of February 7th, 2014 I, Breanna Mae Flores, was sexually assaulted and almost raped by a co-worker. I will not provide specific details as it was a horrific experience. I work for a children’s agency here in Mason City, IA called “Four Oaks”. I was ecstatic to begin my new career at Four Oaks only 2 weeks prior to the assault and I am sad to say I now have to find employment elsewhere as the “man” who assaulted me has not been found guilty at this time. I remain very disappointed in the justice system. The “man” who assaulted me refused to comply with an additional lie detection interview that was to take place on Friday, February 28th, 2014 @ 10:30a.m. at the Mason City Police Department. I was informed yesterday March 4th, 2014 that there was nothing more they could do because it is his “RIGHT” to turn down interrogation….while I have gone through 3 weeks of interviews and investigations, cooperating as much as possible and praying the right thing was done. I have been told if I would have better evidence (such as waking up the children which was suggested to me) then it would be easier to convict him……..
I was the only adult worker scheduled to work on an outside dorm at the Four Oaks Campus in Mason City, IA on the night of February 6th, 2014 from 11:00p.m.-February 7th, 2014 at 7:00a.m. I left the dorm shortly after 5:15a.m. because the “man” returned to the dorm, as he had told me he would shortly after sexually assaulting me. I went to the Mason City Police Department on my own the morning of February 7th, 2014, Four Oaks did not take it upon themselves to report the incident to law enforcement (even after discussing the incident with a supervisor, the police were not called, my supervisor actually drove him HOME). I spoke with Investigator Hugi at the Mason City Police Department around 9:45a.m. and explained to him what had happened to me earlier that morning. I was first bear hugged by my co-worker, then he tried to put his tongue in my mouth, had my right breast pulled out of my shirt, was pushed against a wall and grouped, had a hand between my legs, had a penis pulled out in front of me, I was forced to touch it, I was asked to touch it and kiss it, he tried to pull my pants down while his penis was out, he tried to kiss me again after I was able to push him away and he then mocked me about the whole situation and offered me m&m’s. He then made it known to me that he would be returning back to see me after checking on the other dorms on campus.
No one witnessed what happened to me, as the “man” who did this knew I was working alone that night. There were at least 10 young boys on the dorm whom were sleeping at the time and who I feared would wake up to see someone they trusted, as a monster. Most children who live on the Four Oaks Campus in Mason City, IA have suffered in some way or another and it would never be in my will to put a child in a situation that could mentally scar them or make them feel unsafe in a place where they SHOULD feel safe. I thought I was safe working at Four Oaks as well and now that trust was taken from me. What hasn’t been taken from me is my strength and willingness to find justice for what this poor excuse of a man has done to me.
I must note there are NO security cameras at Four Oaks, There is only one person in charge of each dorm, including dorms that are not connected to the main building. Doors do not lock as well. I fear that this is not this first time this has happened to someone at the hands of this coward. I am not a religious woman but I put my faith in god that something will give. I ask that if anyone, whether that be yourself reading this, or if you know someone else who has been made a victim at the hands of this predator to PLEASE SPEAK UP AND STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!!. The information I provide should be used for the purpose to help bring justice to not only myself but potentially other victims as well.
Please, if you are someone who has heard anything at all or he has confided information to you about this incident please REPORT IT!!! As for now I am at a loss of words and can not understand the system, how this man can walk free after doing something so terrible. I will not be silent about it anymore and I pray the right thing is done.
I pray there are no other women or children who have fell victim to this snake. BUT if there have been more victims please help them FIND THEIR VOICE, anything to help myself heal and potentially heal as well!

My not qualify for sexual assault in the eyes of the local keystone Cops, but sure enough qualifies for sexual harassment.an turns into civil suit. Which turns into a bunch of nickels, with results.
Willing to bet the guy has nothing to get.
@big bubba~ Not looking for money, looking for justice. Something has got to give…….
I’ve been looking for justice for 20 some years. America doesn’t always produce it. In time, you’ll become sharp and astute in your analysis of “laws” and how society conducts itself. You’ve entered PHASE 1 of the Awakening.
Couldn’t the results of a lie detector test on her about the situation and the name of the predator be used to bring charges on him?
@GodLovesYou-I don’t think lie detector test are considered conclusive. Because there was only her and him present it is one’s word against the other. No case.
If her lie detector test came back that she wasn’t lieing about the time, what exactly happened & his name couldn’t that force him to take one and if his wasn’t passed, they would have a case I would think. They say you can’t cheat a lie detector test. The questions would need to be narrowed down to specifics though.
I will be calling the investigator today to find out if she can do this. My fingers are crossed!
I do not believe they can force anyone to take a lie detector test. It could be self incriminating and they can’t force you to do that. I could be wrong on this but it seems I have heard it somewhere.
No, they can not make you take a DCI interview. The investigator had one set up for the perp, but later called back and declined to participate. If that doesn’t say you are quilty, I don’t know what does.
@diane-It might say he is guilty but they can not use it against him as evidence. This is a very bad deal, but it is well known that if it is one persons statements against another they cancel eachother out. Won’t hold up in court. I am pretty sure they guy probably knew that and used it to his advantage.
I was always told if you have nothing to hide you tell the truth and do what you have to to prove yourself. If you have nothing to hide why not just cooperate and clear you name? Enough said
no worker has to go through this, if the law wont do anything hire an attorney and go after 4 oaks.
Alot of people have suggested that. Thank you!
I have known Caleb for awhile and I do not believe he would do any of this. He has a great case for a slander suit against Ms. Flores. I would trust him with any of my female friends. This is just horrible. This young woman should have consulted an attorney before she thought of trying to ruin a man’s life..
Why did he decline the DCI Interview? Ruin his career, he did that! What he did was wrong, tell your friend to participate in the interview. Have him get in touch with Jason Hugi at the MCPD.
@Matt~Thank you for allowing this!! It is very much appreciated!
@nunnanyasbizzness~Miss Flores is not a nut case, I can assure you of that. Take some advice from your name on here. A young woman was sexually assualted, the police and the CA believe this happened. There just isn’t any proof. Ms Flores will participate in a DCI Interview, Mr Bassey declined to participate. Go over to the Globe and shoot your mouth(typing skills) off over there!
Define “non-bonifide”. Is that a word?
The revelation by the accuser is the next story in this saga. The accuser has First Amendment rights. I would say those rights can come with consequences, yes, but when she went public, it became news. NIT is passing no judgement on either side in this alleged incident. NIT will, however, allow both sides all the opportunity that is reasonable to express their side of the story.
@Matt-I have a suggestion for you. How about if these non-subscribers that come on here and shoot off their mouth putting down the site all the time were allowed to partially read only and not allowed to post. Maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to shoot off their mouths then.
I’m considering some basic changes to the commenting system. As you can see, we are experimenting with limiting the length of comments to 500 characters. People do not typically like to read loooong comments. I can check a box and force anyone who wants to leave a comment to be a subscriber, or at the very least, log in. Might be worth a try. As for the criticism, who cares what someone says that can’t even leave a real name. I use mine, plus my picture now. Just another way to make nameless trolls feel ashamed of themselves.
Thank you, Matt! Limiting comments to 500 characters is an excellent idea! I am very tired of long, boring monologues on NIT. I rarely comment because I’ve seen so many people viciously attacked for expressing an opinion. I wonder if those attacks would occur if everyone used their own name. When I subscribed I was under the impression that user names were the norm, so I created one. Perhaps it is time to require everyone to log in and use their own name when commenting.
Thank you. I can raise or lower the 500 limit, so I am looking for feedback. I am going to police the comments more thoroughly starting now. Got one or two more enhancements coming, too. Appreciate the feedback.
@Matt-I like this. If you decide to make people use their real names I will be for that as well.
Glad you like. No one should be offended when I delete a comment. I judge each comment on its content, not on the person who wrote it. Flag a comment if you think it is offensive. Thanks.
Ms Flores you have to understand that it is very dangerous to try and convict someone without direct/Circumstantial evidence. If the CA were to try and convict this POS and the jury finds him innocent because there was no evidence its possible he could not be tried again, ever.
I you think the children are troubled now, just wait till they get out of Four Oaks! Not to mention Prairie Ridge.
Look Judges, I’m no fool. If you think ordering young people to these places is a good idea, you better think again. These facilities are not run by people any better than you send there. They are a magnet for freaks.
Just search her Facebook to read th whole story
I would guess after reading this, if not found to be true, there will be another law suit.
This is “her” story with pics from the internet. Do you have a daughter? In the words of Jason Hugi “I believe what you say is a 100% true, there is no reason for me to believe that you would come in here and make any of this up.” I have been there since minutes after the attack, she is an honest person, and that, I believe, will shine thru!!
