Goodland Man Charged With Sexual Battery In Jasper County
A Goodland man, Christopher Spirala,is facing felony and misdemeanor charges following an alleged sexual battery incident reported at a Remington retail store, according to court records filed in Jasper County.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Remington Police were notified at approximately 12:40 p.m. on August 7, 2025, of a customer complaint at the Dollar General in the 100 block of Division Street in Remington. An officer arrived at the store at approximately 12:45 p.m. and met with store management and an employee who reported being sexually violated while working inside the store.
Court records state the employee reported she was stocking shelves in the picture frame aisle when a male customer walked up behind her and told her she had something on her butt. The employee stated she attempted to wipe the area but felt nothing. The affidavit states the man then told her it was “still there,” and when she attempted to wipe again, she felt the inside of the man’s hand grope her from the bottom of her vaginal area up to the top of her buttocks.
According to court documents, the employee reported the suspect then walked away toward the register, leaving her in shock. After the suspect exited the store, the employee reported the incident to store management. Surveillance footage showed the suspect entering the store at approximately 11:59 a.m. and leaving at approximately 12:05 p.m., during which time he was observed purchasing soda. While the aisle where the incident occurred was not covered by cameras, the employee was able to positively identify the suspect using available footage.
Court records state the store manager recognized the suspect as a regular customer and later identified him as Spirala. Law enforcement later spoke with Spirala at his residence in Goodland. During the contact, Spirala acknowledged being at the Remington Dollar General at the time of the incident, stated he purchased soda and left, and denied any sexual conduct after being advised of his rights.
Court records show Spirala was lodged in the Jasper County Jail on December 11, 2025, and posted a $1,000 cash bond on December 12, 2025.
